Other Text - 'RoboCop' (1987)


'RoboCop' (1987) Directed by Paul Verhoeven

Plot - Detroit - in the future - is crime ridden, and run by a massive company. The company have developed a huge crime fighting robot, which unfortunately develops a rather dangerous glitch. The company sees a way to get back in favour with the public when a cop called Alex Murphy is killed by a street gang. Murphys body is reconstructed within a steel shell and named Robocop. The Robocop is very successful against criminals, and becomes a target of supervillian Boddicker.

- I will be refering to Robocop as Robocop (1987) also shows how men dominanted the past and how women were not seen as equal to men till feminism was introduced. Just like 'The Terminator', men were seen to have the lead roles in action films but now this has changed as society has became less patriarchal and women now are gaining there independence and equal rights and many films such as 'Charlies Angels' and 'Kill Bill' show how women are becoming more independent.
