Nostalgia is a hell of a drug, but even it can't make us love RoboCop 3.
We had the introduction of Nikko Halloran , a young genius hacker who makes many of the bad guys look like chumps. She was the perfect avatar for the new audience the studio was hoping to court and a problem for many viewers. It’s Nikko who saves the day in the end, when Robo has trouble fighting off the two ninja cyborgs as she simply makes them cut each other’s heads off, taking the wind out of Murphy’s sails at the same time.
By the end, however, Torn’s CEO is being ordered around by Paul McDaggett, leader of the Rehabs, played by John Castle . He’s the stereotypical English bad guy who we hate because of his uptight nature and accent, leading a group of militant thugs who are picking on the weak. This bully is an undercooked Bond villain with little to chew on in the script sadly.
On the protagonist side we have some solid actors like CCH Pounder and Daniel Von Bargen coming in to help a few returning names. With all the time being spent on these new faces it’s no surprise viewers were asking “where’s RoboCop?” It takes him a while to show up and when he does, it’s ridiculously over the top. Murphy drives up to the top of a car lot to make a pointless entrance and then shoots his way out of the roof of his patrol car when the door would have been perfectly fine.
Meanwhile, Anne Lewis , Alex Murphy’s partner in all three movies, only makes a brief appearance. Allen apparently didn’t have a great time working on RoboCop 2 and there were rumors that she asked to be killed off early in the third installment. However, the actress waswhen she found out about the death. To have such a great character go out so early feels off and it was something that didn’t sit well with most fans.
The sad thing is that RoboCop 3 showed a lot of potential. The core of the story is about corporate greed and class warfare, with OCP trying to forcibly evict and even kill citizens of Detroit to build Delat City. It’s basically extreme gentrification and there’s a lot you can do with that. Instead, it chooses to say very little, wading around in the shallow moral waters of “killing people is bad”.
