Part man, part machine, all cop. Now that’s a tagline. One of RoboCop’s best kept secrets was that it was a simple idea executed brilliantly, a fact that its sequels failed to grasp. But cinema’s favourite knight in shining blue titanium armour is rising from the dead once more this week, with The Killing’s Joel Kinnaman providing the mighty chin required for the job. But before you head to the cinemas to check out the new model, here’s the RoboCop story so far. You have 20 seconds to comply…
In the beginning there was a robot, a futuristic car and an amazing sci-fi cop movie. And that movie was 1982’s Blade Runner. As lowly studio script reader Ed Neumeier schlepped past the futuristic set where Ridley Scott’s classic tale of a robot-hunting cop was being filmed, Neumeier hit upon the idea of a robotic cop that busted humans.
