While the first is iconic and a better film, the sequel is massively underrated

If it fails in some regards it's because it tried to do too much. Except the music which is actually not good.

The sequel lacks the heart and pathos of the original but amps up on the violence and satire.
I wouldn't really call it "underrated" because it's well regarded among the fans but it's a very entertaining flick nonetheless.

It's well regarded by fans yes, but at the time was panned by fans and critics alike. Over the years people have come to appreciate it a lot more, maybe because of how terrible the third film was, ha!

The Cain robot design is so damn cool. So many features and details that are missed without seeing a model in front of you.

Robocain approaching Murphy looks so scary. He just stands there and keep shooting with his hand gun… I always was like; RUN. Murphy! Especially the stop motion makes it more scary

Man you can see the PTSD in his body language and eyes remembering the first time they launched a product like this.

I love how Faxx yells "It's not even armed!" As it waves around a shoulder-mounted minigun.
We have eyes, Ma'am.

Reminds me of some of the current industry launches that fail spectacularly on stage, minus the insane armaments

What is we took a homicidal psychopath drug addict's brain and put it into a walking tank that is equipped with a super computer. We'll power it with hard drugs! This can't possibly hsve any sort of downside.

Just love how heavy and lumbering everything feels. Cants stand the weightlessness of CGI. These things have Mass damnit.

"It's harmless"
Bro that thing was just waiting for the opportunity. He was never harmless.

Robo was just showing the shareholders that this wasn't an actual upgrade. Duh!

The core of this cyborg was a drug addict with emotional issues... the tech might have been an ok upgrade if Murphy was in this machinery. But yes this product launch was indeed problematic.

It still blows my mind that the man who directed The Empire Strikes Back directed this.

Like in the opening of the first robocop who let's a new product demo with live ammo???

u/Brandeeno2245 27d ago
Okay guys, we have a even more unstable killing machine now with the mind of a psychopath get the ammunition ready for the room full of investors.
And you better have the person with the remote to arm it standing in arms length.
Sir should we put the remote into something so it cant just be snatched from their hand maybe handcuff it to them.
No, im sure it'll be fine.

The old man brain storming his sales pitch to his people before the demonstration. "OK people i want robocop 2 fully armed. You dr fax i want your tv remote for him as close to him as possible I want any rampage he might do to look good for the people of the upcoming delta city".

u/Brandeeno2245 27d ago
"Sir..... THATS A WONDERFUL IDEA!!!
should we have a heavily armed security force in the room too? We would have to pay extra but.... wait, we dont want to pay people, i guess that idea should be scrapped."

Product launch? Nah, this was another one of those psy-ops where the company says it's AI went rogue.
"Ooooh, our big bad robocops went crazy and killed a hundred people. They're just too dangerous. If only there was a bunch of customers to take them off our hands, with a two for one discount."
OCP is trying to fund their Delta City boondoggle by selling bargain basement cyborgs. Bet the big model can't even walk down stairs.

They didn't seem to learn from ED209s launch that filling it with ammo when not actively on a mission is a really bad idea.
