This time around, in addition to the corporate goons who are busy exploiting the blighted city of Detroit, RoboCop must battle a psychotic drug lord known as Cain and his vicious, foul-mouthed, 12-year-old assistant. Now that his own brain has been zapped by a potent new drug known as Nuke, Cain plans to market the substance to the citizens of Detroit. The diabolical drug dealer soon proves to be not only evil, but indestructible; when RoboCop finally succeeds in killing him, Cain is resurrected as RoboCop 2 and embarks on a rampage of murder and destruction.

Still compelling action sci-fi, due to Weller's character.

An unfairly maligned sequel that's just as edgy and exciting as the original.

You almost have to admire Robocop 2 for undermining everything its predecessor stood for with an incredible sense of single-mindedness.

...the film forsakes most of its progenitor's lighthearted yet moving emotional appeal and replaces it with gunfire, car chases, and explosions.

I truly believe the filmmakers had good intentions, but the results are appalling.

An inferior follow-up, but still entertaining. Lacks an interesting central villain, but some great robot mano-a-mano.
