RoboCop 2

The Summer of Sequels continues as we head back to the streets of Old Detroit to revisit RoboCop 2 (1990). Does this follow-up successfully build on Paul Verhoeven's sci-fi classic, or is it just more bullets, explosions, and corporate greed?

We break down the return of Officer Murphy, the rise of the deadly RoboCop 2 program, the introduction of the unforgettable (and unsettling) Hob, and whether the sequel's bigger action and darker tone are enough to live up to the original. Along the way, we discuss the film's satire, stop-motion effects, memorable moments, and where it ranks among the sequels we've covered during our Summer of Sequels series.

Stick around until the end of the discussion for a round of Metacritic Mayhem.

Safe travels, nomads.
