RoboCop 2
Directed by Irvin Kershner
After a successful deployment of the RoboCop Law Enforcement unit, OCP sees its goal of urban pacification come closer and closer, but as this develops, a new narcotic known as "Nuke" invades the streets led by God-delirious leader Cane. As this menace grows, it may prove to be too much for Murphy to handle. OCP tries to replicate the success of the first unit, but ends up with failed prototypes with suicidal… From TMDB

60 of 225 · most liked firstA Tom Noonan performance I always go to bat for is Cain in Robocop 2, a movie that is simultaneously the best and worst movie ever made
neutral · AI labelView post →i love the concept of the movie Robocop 2. They made a Robocop, and now they're making him fight Robocop... 2. im taking notes
positive · AI labelView post →"Robocop 2" is a bad movie on its own merits but it's a perfect example of a genre of film that only existed in the 80s and 90s which was: a bad action movie saved by the fact that both the protagonist and the antagonist are played by really weird actors.
neutral · AI labelView post →Robocop 2 is a fully useless movie but the stop motion animation of the cyborg-Cain at the end is absolutely off the hook, I've never seen anything like it
neutral · AI labelView post →What's a movie gag that never fails to get a chuckle from you? 🎥 😂 For me… this one from ‘Robocop 2’ (1990) 🖤
neutral · AI labelView post →Rest in peace Tom Noonan. Legitimately one of my favourite actors - I always smiled whenever he turned up randomly in stuff. Loved him in RoboCop 2, he made that film way more entertaining than it had any right to be. Also fantastic in Manhunter, Last Action Hero, The X-Files, The House of the Devil
neutral · AI labelView post →Michael Haneke movies fall into this category for me, oh the point of the movie is that I’m a bad person if I watch? Guess what Mike I’m not watching, I’m watching Robocop 2 again, I win bich
positive · AI labelView post →Unapologetically love Robocop 2 (1990) although I know it’s not a masterpiece like the first movie & I’m sad to be living in it, and will never not laugh at a living skeleton
positive · AI labelView post →The suit in RoboCop 2 is horribly painted. In the first film it looks like stainless steel, in the second it looks like something you'd ride in at a funfair.
negative · AI labelView post →On this night (20th April) in 1991, the Scala Cinema was showing Total Recall (1990), Robocop (1987), The Terminator (1984), Robocop 2 (1990) and Trancers (1984) as a Metal Machine Men all-nighter.
neutral · AI labelView post →When Karnov became too famous & expensive to hire, moviemakers would do anything to feature Karnov. Here he is on a poster in Sly Spy / Secret Agent, which is how the director of Robocop 2 got him to appear in their movie without paying him millions in appearance fees🤔😉
neutral · AI labelView post →You want to know something really funny, Frank Miller wrote Sin City to be “the most unpitchable story that Hollywood could never make a movie out of” because he was so butthurt that they laughed at his shitty Robocop 2 script and rewrote it.
neutral · AI labelView post →Picking a random film from my collection to show off for no real reason! Day #242 "Robocop 2" (Irvin Kershner/1990) Nowhere near the same level as the first but a fun, enjoyable sequel none-the-less. Always fun to see Tom Noonan as the bad guy. Check it out if you've got the time.
positive · AI labelView post →I hadn't seen Robocop 2 before and now I wish I hadn't. It's really hard to make a sequel to a satire and not become the thing the first movie was having a rip at.
negative · AI labelView post →Is RoboCop 2 a worthy sequel? No. Is it a fine? Sure. Does it contain the greatest singe creative decision ever in film music, having a choir sing "RoboCop" and only "RoboCop" as part of the theme? Yes it does.
neutral · AI labelView post →Always been a huge fan of @philtippett.bsky.social and especially his CAIN from Robocop 2. Here's a poster I did for the movie focusing on Cain which sadly never got screen-printed. Which sucks because I think it rocks, but hey ho :) #art #posterart #robocop #tippetstudios
neutral · AI labelView post →The movie Robocop 2
neutral · AI labelView post →I like foreign horror movies made by perverts, she likes light romantic comedy fare. Our compromise movie tonight is ROBOCOP 2
positive · AI labelView post →Akira, the Truman show, the Lego Batman movie, hellboy, coming to America, planes, trains and automobiles, The Batman ‘22, Little Shop Of Horrors, Robocop 2, the matrix, bride of Frankenstein, Superman 2 In no particular order

neutral · AI labelView post →Two things can be true at once. For example. 1: There has never been a good follow-up to the original Robocop movie in any media. 2: Robocop 2 is not as bad as folks make it out to be.
neutral · AI labelView post →My sick-day fever-dream movie lineup yesterday consisted of: - Robocop 2 - Robocop (yes in that order) - X-Men Origins: Wolverine - Prometheus - Alien: Resurrection
neutral · AI labelView post →Weird thing about Robocop 2 is that it's a (mostly) less graphic movie than the original but feels way more mean spirited because there's none of the absurdity to the violence that the original had.
negative · AI labelView post →I know it's my own fault for going to see a movie at 10:30 last night but I feel like the Robocop 2 skeleton.
neutral · AI labelView post →I’m watching Robocop 2, incredibly boring movie. every scene goes on for so long.
negative · AI labelView post →In 1990, Orion Pictures partnered with Turner Home Entertainment to help promote the upcoming ‘RoboCop 2’ film. This included promos, ads, and a PPV cameo ft. the fictional character. ‘Capitol Combat ‘90: Return of RoboCop’ took place in Washington D.C. and was 🤷🏻♂️. wcwworldwide.com/2026/05/wcw-...
neutral · AI labelView post →I miss Marvel movie adaptations. I have Buckaroo Banzai, RoboCop 2, Darkman, and T2.
neutral · AI labelView post →Irvin Kershner, the man who directed the best Star Wars, somehow also directed RoboCop 2, and the only good thing I can say about that movie is that it at least isn't as bad as RoboCop 3.
negative · AI labelView post →"Anyone can buy OCP's stock and own a piece of our city. What could be more democratic than that?" Robocop 2 is not a good movie, but damn if it didn't predict future tech bros.
neutral · AI labelView post →A24’s problem is they have a whole lot of people in their stable who clearly want to be Ari Aster but are nowhere near as talented or interesting as Ari Aster, so they just keep making the Robocop 2 version of “An Ari Aster Film”
neutral · AI labelView post →It's kind of why I was more a fan of RoboCop and The Running Man. But not really RoboCop 2, and definitely not RoboCop 3, or basically anything that isn't just the first RoboCop movie to be honest.
negative · AI labelView post →Posting a random movie from my library. DAY 25 : Robocop 2 He's back to protect the innocent. With Peter Weller, Tom Noonan, Nancy Allen #filmsky #physicalmedia
neutral · AI labelView post →The dirtiest trick ROBOCOP 2 pulled was having Basil Poledouris's theme music in the trailer but not the movie itself.
negative · AI labelView post →After Robocop 2 I really need a palette cleanser. I might try Scary Movie 5.
negative · AI labelView post →June '90 was a little weird, a big summer month where it felt like most things except for TOTAL RECALL underperformed. ANOTHER 48 HRS, DICK TRACY, GREMLINS 2 (one of the best films ever made), ROBOCOP 2 and DAYS OF THUNDER which was marketed like it was going to be the biggest movie of the year 1/2
neutral · AI labelView post →now watching RoboCop 2, a movie that I watched 7-10 times during a single 3 day blockbuster rental, 34 years ago.
neutral · AI labelView post →Movie fact that sounds like a shitpost but isn’t: there is a character in RoboCop 2 explicitly referred to as “RoboCop 2,” meaning that arguably Alex Murphy/RoboCop is NOT the titular character of RoboCop 2.
neutral · AI labelView post →Physical media lives in Hal Hartley’s the Unbelievable Truth. Come for the brilliant Adrienne Shelley, stay for the sassy young Edie Falco. Fellow Hal-fan and movie dude Stephen joins us in this one. I loved it so much, I recorded over Robocop 2 to put it after The Hunt For Red October.
negative · AI labelView post →RoboCop 2 (1990) Director: Irvin Kershner Cast: Roger Aaron Brown, Frank Miller, John Glover, Nancy Allen, Peter Weller Watch Review wp / wd
neutral · AI labelView post →This scene is great, because you're expecting this hardcore insane knock down brawl, and they subvert that by giving you looney tunes including sound effects and slide whistles instead. Almost as if to say "this whole idea is stupid." Robocop 2 is an underrated movie.
positive · AI labelView post →So probably my least conventional popular movie opinion is despite having much jankier effects, Robocop 3 is a much better movie than Robocop 2. That could also be my politics talking. I find Robocop 2 actively repellant. Robocop 3 is about the community coming together to fight corporate fascism.
negative · AI labelView post →4. The only thing keeping ROBOCOP 2 from being my least favorite sequel is 1.) RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD, PART II exists 2.) Somebody had the right idea of just letting Phil Tippet take over the movie for its robot rampage finale. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cej5...
neutral · AI labelView post →"Ladies and gentlemen, with great pleasure, I give you RoboCop 2." Oh wait, are we doing quotes that aren't in the actual movie?
neutral · AI labelView post →Also: Using the classic Goji roar in the teaser but not the movie. That's some "Robocop 2's trailer had the Poledouris theme but not the movie itself" nonsense.

neutral · AI labelView post →Watched Robocop 2 for the 1st time in 30 years. Top points for great special effects & the skeleton of Elvis, but lousy direction and a muddled script. For pure escapist enjoyment, Robocop 3 is a better film. #Robocop #Robocop2 #80sfilms #80scinema #scifi #FrankMiller
neutral · AI labelView post →Tonight's late movie is Robocop 2 (1990) 🍿
neutral · AI labelView post →RIP Tom Noonan, who played Robocop #2 in the movie Robocop 2.
neutral · AI labelView post →So I just watched "Robocop 2" - www.imdb.com/title/tt0100... It's OK. Definitely nowhere near as good as the original, even though it so desperately tries to be. 6/10 #Movie #Review #Robocop2
neutral · AI labelView post →📺 Ergo Movie Update Robocop and Robocop 2 Finally watched Robocop and it was even better than I expected. Certified classic. Hilarious and compelling. Great movie all around. Robocop 2 is... okay. Fun moments but it really doesn't come together as a whole.
neutral · AI labelView post →The sunscreen commercial is possibly one of the most dystopian things I've ever seen in a movie. That might've been in Robocop 2 though. Still both films are legitimately two of the best dystopian sci-fi films out there.
positive · AI labelView post →Robocop 2 is a fine movie but the existence of Robocop 1 makes it worse. If that makes sense.
neutral · AI labelView post →RIP Tom Noonan. A consummate actor of film & TV who valued craft over fame, taking guest roles even after major film success. Iconic in Manhunter and RoboCop 2, yet gentle in The Monster Squad. From The X-Files to The Blacklist, his presence was legendary. #TomNoonanRIP
neutral · AI labelView post →I always dread to bring up RoboCop 2 because when I was in college, my film bros always had a visceral hatred towards it, but man, Cain
neutral · AI labelView post →Yes. Robocop 2 is a really good movie. Robocop 3 and the 2014 remake aren't that good. Watch them if you want to appreciate how good the first two movies really are.
positive · AI labelView post →Just watched Robocop 2 with my friend. First movie is much better. 🥲
negative · AI labelView post →Robocop 2 is a real newspaper comic strip of a movie, just a bunch of individual little ideas in scenes that don't really form a whole, but have a vague overall continuity. I love it
positive · AI labelView post →Implement a 100% tariff and ruin a movie. RoboCop 2
neutral · AI labelView post →damnit, upload desynced audio lol Source is Robocop 2. Robocop 1 is a much better movie but y'know, Robocain is a very practical robot and we like practicality.
neutral · AI labelView post →Robocop 2 is a hilarious satire of movie studios, '90s uber-edgy antiheroes, forced sequels, and violent franchises being neutered by parent groups so they can be slapped on lunchboxes and sold as Saturday Morning cartoons. It was also ridiculously prescient of the future of the franchise #FilmSky
