With two feature films, an animated series, video games, and numerous merchandising tie ins by the early nineties, the Robo. Cop phenomenon had become as much an ancillary market as it was a franchise brand. By the time Robo. Cop 3 finally came out in 1. Orion for two years as the studio teetered on bankruptcy, the series had sought and reached a wider audience, including the specifically targeted family friendly demographic. Art had pretty much been sacrificed in favor of commerce. As the esteemed British film critic Mark Kermode noted in his review of Robo. Cop 3, the syndication of the Robo. Cop character through childrens cartoons, toys, and figures has necessitated a severe softening of the violence in order to retain the lucrative youth market. This is reflected in the film when the camera takes us inside the bedroom of 1. Nikko Remy Ryan, who has Robo and ED 2. In a brutally honest commentary included on this disc, director Fred Dekker reveals that, with a touch of irony, Nikko was really not written to lure kids into the theaters to see the second sequel. According to Dan Persons, co writer Frank Miller originally conceived Nikko as computer hackerRobo ally Keiko in an early treatment of Robo. Cop 2. Keiko was later changed to Hob, probably by Wallon Green. Dekker takes full responsibility for Robo. Cop 3s critical failure and for bombing at the box office. I would add the disclaimer, though, that he was severely hampered and constricted by what he could and could not show. Orion pressured him into accepting a PG 1. The studio was adamant from very early on that we had to broaden the audience base for this picture, Dekker admitted to critic Jamie Portman of the Waterloo Region Record while the film was in wide release. The original Robo. Cop and Robo. Cop 2 were very hard, graphically violent films. However, the irony is that kids loved the character, but because of an R rating in most countries they couldnt go and see the pictures when they first came out. Citing some scenic examples, David Lyman of The Cincinnati Post disagreed The violence and strong language in Robo. Cop 3 would more properly warrant an R than a PG. The movie was roundly panned by critics and considered a juvenile imitation of the original to put it lightly. The film did have its proponents, though theyre in the minority. For example, Jim Bullard of the St. Alvin And The Chipmunks Theater Cartoon. Petersburg Times astonishingly proclaimed Robo. Cop 3 is the real steel deal the best Robo. Cop yet. This third installment of the film series is far less gory than its predecessors, and has better pacing and a better sense of humor. However, Bullard had some qualms about the film and still only graded it a C. Other critics who gave it a mixed review seemed to appreciate different aspects compared to its predecessor and in spite of the limitations. For instance, Kermode obsevered Even within such limiting parameters, however, there is still more enjoyable material here than Robo. Cop 2, with all its OTT carnage, could even hint at. Im not sure if Miller wrote the third film knowing that he had to make the material entirely palatable to adolescents. He was probably not mindful that the picture was going to be PG 1. Robo. Cop 2 was out in the summer of 1. When Dekker was hired to direct the picture, he did a rewrite of Millers first draft and then sent his own draft back so Miller could rewrite him. In the new making of documentary on this BD, I got the impression that Dekker would have preferred to keep more of what went into Millers solo screenplay. The films premise is alright and would have worked a lot better had Orion not been so MPAA conscious as well as money hungry. For those who havent seen the film, its a classic story of an underground resistance movement rising up against a fascistic military regime imposing martial law on a downtrodden city. The Urban Rehabilitors are hired by OCP to round up citizens in all of Detroits neighborhoods and force them into foreclosure so the corporation can begin construction on the long planned Delta City initiative. OCP is working with Japanese architect Kanemitsu Mako and his Kanemitsu Corps on the project. The film misses Daniel OHerlihy as The Old Man. Dekker gave OHerlihy a copy of his script but the Irish born actor thought his character was portrayed as too weak and declined the part. At the UCD Archives in Dublin reside the Dan OHerlihy Papers, which contain a Nov. OHerlihy from Dekker concerning the role of the Old Man in the film. Although OHerlihys replacement Rip Torn chews up some scenes as The CEO, his character is depicted as weak and comes across as a cowardly buffoon. The main problem with Miller and Dekkers shooting script is that it doesnt push the envelope far enough. The third installment most definitely lacks the hard edge that distinguished the first two films. Dekker acknowledges that he couldnt show any drug dealing and theres an element of restraint exercised with the Splatterpunks, Detroits denizens, for instance. The script is episodically constructed with vignettes that needed greater development. The narrative builds up to a duel between Robo. Cop Robert Burke and Otomo Bruce Locke, Kanemitsus cyborg ninja, but the adversaries are only in two all too brief scenes together, which dont build to a climatic showdown. Also, Robos flight pack is introduced way too late and is a letdown. Fans probably will never forgive Dekker for the fate he gives Officer Lewis and Nancy Allen herself had immediate misgivings when Dekker divulged it to her over lunch. On the plus side, Jill Hennessy is very good as the likable Dr. Marie Lazarus. Remy Ryan is also one of the pictures few bright spots as Nikko. Her scenes with ED 2. Furthermore, composer Basil Poledouris made a welcome return to the series and added some new themes, although the music for the Murphy family he penned for the first film is recycled and overused here. In Poledouriss defense, the schmaltzy material he was presented dictated that themes reprisal. As a whole, Robo. Cop 3 is much less than the sum of its disparate parts. Robo. Cop 3 has been given the deluxe treatment by ShoutFactory as one of the labels features laden Collectors Editions, although the film has not been given a new transfer. The video streams on the Shout, however, advance ahead with an average bitrate of 3. BD carried a mean bitrate of 2. The movie appears in its original theatrical aspect ratio of 1. AVC encoded BD 5. I own the 2. 01. 0 MGM BD of Dekkers third feature and examining the two transfers side by side reveals that the Shout MGM. Color spacing, grain, skin tones, et al. If theres any disparity between the two, its that the Shout I didnt notice as many speckles in the frame. The print used is in mostly pristine condition. Some exteriors and establishing shots exhibit flatness without much depth.
