DVD Deal of the Day: Robocop Trilogy (Blu-Ray)

While Darren Aronofsky's proposed reboot of  Robocop may be on death row, there's no reason you can't ride along on patrol with the cyborg upholder of the law one more time in full Blu-Ray glory. In this set you'll get all three Robocop flicks, the first directed by Paul Verhoeven(Total Recall). Unfortunately what you don't get is the underrated TV miniseries, Robocop: Prime Directives. Do yourself a favor and pick that up as well. It's a must for die-hard Robocop fanatics.

RoboCop 1
From the director of Total Recall comes a high-adrenaline,“sleek” (Time) sci-fi thriller about a policeman who’s half man,half machine. When a good cop (Peter Weller) is murdered by criminals, innovative scientists piece him back together as an unstoppable crime-fighting cyborg called RoboCop. Tormented by the memory of his death, he is out for justice – and revenge.


RoboCop 2
Robocop (Peter Weller) returns to battle his toughest opponent yet: his replacement! But not only is the new cyborg’s weaponry more sophisticated than Robocop’s, it contains the brain of a madman! It will take everything Robocop has to save Detroit -- and himself -- from total destruction.

RoboCop 3
It’s Megacop vs. Megacorp in this edge-of-your-seat sci-fi action film. When a ruthless corporation that has
a stranglehold on Motor City begins kicking families out of their homes for a new real estate project, Robocop (Robert Burke) and a band of renegades fight to save them in an all-out battle for Detroit.
