 Robocop 2 - DVD - Title R Shopping at dooyoo.co.uk
Robocop 2 is another movie which adds weight to the argument that sequels basically suck.
Few sequels work, those that do are usually radical rethinks of the movie whih came before and have very few elements of the original in them, or make use of more modern technology to blow the predecessor away with flashy special effects and the like.
Robocop 2 followed on too closely to its predecessor for that to ever be a viability and went for the highly obvious 'evil robot'; plot for its main focus rather than coming up with a surprising take on the old idea.
