Arrow Video Unleashes Robocop On A Glorious New 4K Release!
April 19th, 2022Robocop has been released on a brand spanking new 4K (woooohoooooo!) by our friends over at Arrow Video, so get ready to experience one of the best sci-fi action flicks of all time like never before!
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.
And Arrow Video has a whole slew of other classics available as well, so head over here and order your movies today, pop the popcorn, shut off the lights, and enjoy the ultra violence and the toxic waste thug in glorious 4K!
