Overview

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 issues... until Dr. Faxx, a scientist straying away from OCP's path, uses Cane as the new subject for the RoboCop 2 project, a living God.

Everything in the first movie is pretty much redone again. But in this case, the repetition isn't a bad thing.

Desson Thomson, Washington Post
Rotten

RoboCop 2 is all machine, and it's all vile.

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Rotten

The movie's screenplay is a confusion of half-baked and unfinished ideas.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Rotten

With its desensitizing blood lust, RoboCop 2 contributes yet another ugly note to this already demoralizing season of sadism.

Hal Hinson, Washington Post
Rotten

This ultraviolent, nihilistic sequel has enough technical dazzle to impress hardware fans, but obviously no one in the Orion front office told filmmakers that less is more.
