Robocop 20th Anniversary Collector’s Edition
When a good cop (Peter Weller) gets blown away by some ruthless criminals, innovative scientists and doctors are able to piece him back together as an unstoppable crime-fighting
cyborg called “RoboCop.” Impervious to bullets and bombs, and equipped with high-tech weaponry, RoboCop quickly makes a name for himself by cleaning up the crime-ridden streets of violence-ravaged Detroit. But despite his new, hardened exterior, RoboCop is tormented by sc**ps of memory of his former life, and relives vivid nightmares of his own death at the hands of the vicious killers. Now he is out to seek more than justice... he wants revenge!

Will this be the uncut version as in the trilogy set and the Criterion edition? If so I will pick it up. Sad that one of my favorite films has to get such c**ppy artwork though. I mean, I love steelbooks when they are done right, but dang, that color scheme doesn't seem very Robocop at all. Then again, the only cover I like is from the OOP Criterion DVD.
this sounds better the disk 1 from the Trilogy set I might pick this and 2 up a give my trilogy set to a reletive.
I'll buy that for a dollar, or whatever the actual price is
I WILL DEFINITELY BUY THIS! Decent features, 2 cuts of the movie, cannot go wrong!!!! I can tolerate the cover art.
It's the theatrical run according to that released info. I would have bought it if it was the directors cut. I may just buy the boxset at one point.
edit:
Eh I was wrong the 2nd disc has the directors cut. I'm in for one!

I was waiting for this to be released, as i did not want the trilogy set. This is going to be released along with the lenticular edition in June; ive read about on other websites? Thats a lot of robocop recently. I'll take this one as i love steelbooks and DTS! This will look nice next to my 3-D poster coming out from McFarlane.
Count me in. Haven't seen this in years.
I used to own the Criterion but I foolishly sold it for gas money! I'll definitely pick up this one.
I have the Criterion and the Trilogy box set already. While I kinda like the artwork and steelbook packaging, I don't think this is worth buying again just for the 3 new featuettes on disc 2. Everything else is already on the existing version and I certainly don't need the theatrical cut. Thanks but I'll pass.
SOLD! I have the Criterion Collection Director's Cut and have been waiting for a version to come out to upgrade. The TRILOGY set wasn't enough. The other two films in the series are complete c**p. Sorry Frank Miller, but not your best work.
YAY!! I missed getting the Criterion Edition, so will get this. Now the value of Criterion Edition should go down, right??
Any thoughts?
Any thoughts?
isnt the 'uncut' version just 5 seconds longer? (more blood in the Boardroom)
Probably wouldnt break a date with Paris over it (when shes outta jail)
Probably wouldnt break a date with Paris over it (when shes outta jail)
I'll pass on this one. Already have the Criterion version on LD and the trilogy set. Maybe I should wait for the 30th Anniversary edition :-)
Yeah, I like steelbook, buy being that it's Robocop, it definately whould have been blue instaed of orange.
I already have the Critrion version, so I just might stick with it(unless I find the 2 disc used somewhere for very cheap).

There are numerous small extensions, the most notable bring the ED-209 scene, Murphy's death and Boddicker's death. It's more than five seconds' worth.
RoboCop is one of my favourite films, and I already own the Criterion and UK trilogy set. Can't really see myself paying for it again, even if it is superb.

I need this.
Conflicted. I have already spent about 60 bucks on this movie (the amazing CC and the Trilogy) and artwork isn't bad-ass. However the new stuff looks good, and I am a steelbook sucker. If it was a steelbook of the CC art, I would be all over it like Akon on a 14-year-old. I dunno, though.
About damn time they release a special edition of this. Never could find that criterion disc.
This looks really good. I've scoffed at other versions due to price and/or lack of features. The steel case is a definite plus.
i own the uncut criterion one not that much unrated just a little more blood. that one cost me like 30 bucks i'll stick to mine

And during the Alex Murphy assasination sequence...
And during the Alex Murphy assasination sequence...
I Might Get This. I haven't Seen it but I hear it is good and I've seen the third one on SpikeTV a while back. They seem quite thrilling.
I Sold my criterion and had bought the box set which I am happy with...I love Robocop, but not buying another version till it hits one of the HD DVD formats
I need this film on DVD. How many times can they release it on DVD anyway? what about the TV series on DVD?
You wait and you wait. You don't see the film until after the Criteron disc is OOP, and you decide against buying the trilogy box set from a few years ago. You say to yourself, a more satisfying edition will have to be released solo. I suppose what they say is correct - good things come to those who wait. I'll definitely be rediscovering RoboCop on DVD this August. Very satisfying, by the looks of it.

LOL agreed.
LOL agreed.
My only gripe is the colour (I agree that it should be, quite obviously, blue,) but I'll probably buy it anyways. It's not what's on the outside...
I'm more than likely going to pass on this, since I bought a single disc edition of this within the last 6 months for $5. I should have realized by now that a 2 disc edition was waiting around the corner. The cover art looks excellent, doesn't matter what colour it is to me.
