Controversial as ever, Verhoeven saw the blue-collar cop (Peter Weller) who is transformed into an invincible cyborg as "an American Jesus with a gun", and so the film dabbles with death and resurrection imagery as well as mercilessly satirising Reagan-era America.
Sadly the third instalment in the series, now without Peter Weller in the title role, is exactly the kind of dumbed-down production-line flick that the corporate suits of OCP might have dreamed up at a marketing meeting.
Peter Weller returned as RoboCop but the director's chair was filled by 'Empire Strikes Back' and 'Never Say Never Again' director Irvin Kershner which was a shame that Paul Verhoeven did not return.

Peter Weller (not the actor—just some guy whose parents named him that because they thought it’d be funny) sat back in his desk chair and glanced out the window.
But what finally captured his gaze was their satanic chant, which suddenly jumped from the obscurity of the background into the forefront of Peter’s awareness.
Peter was restless that night, and he spent the next day on edge, always afraid that around the next corner there they would be, taunting him and singing about torturing and killing him.

Weller's stint on Enterprise had the strange timing of taking place just after the announcement in early February that the show was cancelled.
