The future of law enforcement is a subject often covered in Sci Fi Movies from the good, Demolition Man (1993), the bad, Judge Dredd (1995) and the downright ugly, Mad Max (1979).
Robocop is the finest example ever of civilization on the brink of anarchy and the methods used by cops to quell the oncoming tide.
Satirical, Ultra violent and immensely entertaining, this is a film which quite rightly put director Paul Verhoeven on the map.
A bona fide comic book movie for sure, but also one that is immensely intelligent and at times, moralistically thought provoking.
Throw in some laugh out loud humour, religious allergies and excellent (for the 80s) special effects and you have a stonewall Sci Fi Classic.
