T: For years I had only seen the first Robo and not the second; Karissa brought up that the sequel only improves upon the formula established by the first. She was right as hell!! The action is HOTT and the future city of Detroit where everyone is poppin NUKE is incredible! Special shoutout to the head honcho badguy who is just a little kid.
K: I think Robocop 2 is so good because it’s constantly trying to do everything just more extreme than the first one. Now the villain is a cult leader manufacturing narcotics called “NUKE” with a child gangster, and the Nuke is being bought by shady politicians. Meanwhile Robo continues to have no autonomy and be haunted by his human feelings of loss and heartbreak, and Omni Corp doesn’t care, and a manipulative psychologist with good style shows up and reprograms him and starts experimenting with crAzier robots. There’s something very special to me about Robocop, maybe it’s that everyone in the world besides his partner is evil scum, and despite his endless agony he can only ever do exactly what he’s told to do. God I just love Robocop!!! I'm getting emotional just thinking about him!!! FYI, “Robo” is short for “Robert” and his full name is Robert Cop.
