Robocop: Original vs Remake - Night and Day Difference
Part man. Part machine. All debate.
In this episode of Mart and Trev’s The Deja Review, we return to the crime-ridden streets of Detroit to compare the brutal sci-fi action classic RoboCop, directed by Paul Verhoeven and starring Peter Weller, with the modern reboot RoboCop, starring Joel Kinnaman.
The 1987 original became a cult classic thanks to its ultra-violent action, sharp satire of corporate power, and the unforgettable story of Officer Alex Murphy rebuilt as the unstoppable cyborg law enforcer RoboCop. Nearly three decades later, the 2014 remake attempted to update the story with modern technology, drones, and a more serious take on the ethics of human-machine policing.
Mart and Trev break down the action scenes, the iconic RoboCop design, the themes of corporate control, and the biggest differences between the films, asking whether the remake improves the concept or loses the biting satire that made the original legendary.
Does the 1987 classic still serve the public trust…
or does the 2014 remake upgrade the system?
Dead or alive… the debate comes with us.
