Zavvi - The Home of Pop CulturePART MAN, PART MACHINE, ALL COP.RoboCop, from Orion Pictures, marked Flesh + Blood director Paul Verhoeven's Hollywood debut and instantly became an enduring sci-fi/action classic when it landed in theaters in the summer of 1987. Verhoeven's peerlessly exciting and kinetic visuals were matched by a sharp script, iconic cast and exceptional special effects by Rob Bottin (The Thing) and Phil Tippett (The Empire Strikes Back).The film takes place in Detroit in the not-too-distant future. Heroic cop Alex Murphy (Peter Weller, The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai) is gunned down in the line of duty, only to be resurrected as RoboCop – a cybernetic mix of spare human parts and Motor City steel, and the latest defense against crime designed by the all-powerful OCP Corporation. As RoboCop's memories of his former life as Murphy resurface, only his ex-partner (Nancy Allen, Dressed To Kill) stands beside him to fight against the vicious thugs responsible for his death, as well as a nefarious top-level OCP executive orchestrating the chaos from above. Unsurpassably thrilling, unexpectedly moving and unforgettably hilarious in equal measure, the future of law enforcement is back in a definitive Blu-ray™ presentation packed with hours of brand new bonus features and exclusive collectable packaging.STEELBOOK EDITION CONTENTS:4K restoration of the film from the original camera negative by MGM, transferred in 2013 and approved by director Paul VerhoevenDirector's Cut and Theatrical Cut of the film on two High Definition (1080p) Blu-ray™ discsOriginal lossless stereo and four-channel mixes plus DTS-HD MA 5.1 surround sound option on both cutsOptional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing on both cuts44-page collector's booklet featuring new writing on the film by Omar Ahmed, ChristopherGriffiths and Henry BlythDISC ONE – DIRECTOR'S CUT:Archive commentary by director Paul Verhoeven, executive producer Jon Davison and co-writer Ed Neumeier (originally recorded for the Theatrical Cut and re-edited in 2014 for the Director's Cut)New commentary by film historian Paul M.
