RoboCop - Criterion Collection

This DVD is a fine example of the constantly-diminishing first wave of Criterion DVD's. Many have gone out of print. While these titles have a hefty price tag - make no mistake that a reasonably-priced authentic RoboCop #23 DVD is within your grasp. When you see one, get it!
While all these DVD's nowadays carry so much fluff or (worse) nothing at all, this disc has the goods. We get the uncut, extra gory version that had to be trimmed to earn an R rating. Plus we are treated to an audio commentary featuring Paul Verhoeven. It as fun as watching the movie. The track, an essay on the disc and another one in the insert uncover the social and political implications of this 80's sci-fi classic. It's more than just another popcorn movie.
Criterion has taken another great movie and reminds us why it remains in the memories of casual movie-lover to reclusive film buff alike. A brilliant tour de force cleverly hidden beneath a violent and hilarious spectacle.
