Beyoncé Gave The Beyhive A Little Something To Be Thankful For With A “First Look” At ‘Renaissance' During Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade Stream It Or Skip It: ‘Do Not Disturb’ on Netflix, a Nutty Turkish Sort-of-Comedy About a Man Who's Losing His Marbles After we see Murphy screaming in agony, Clarence lights a cigarette and Emil says: "Hey, Clarence! He is still alive!" For this UHD edition, Arrow Video ports over the same outstanding collection of supplements as their 2019 Blu-ray release and spread across both UHD discs.

In 1995, The Criterion Collection premiered the 'unrated' edition of RoboCop on LaserDisc. The 1987 theatrical release was cut in several scenes to attain an R-rating, and this unrated version restored that footage. The unrated version has subsequently been used for many of the film's DVD and Blu-Ray releases. Tiffany Haddish Plans To "Get Help" After Her Most Recent DUI Arrest, Her Second In Less Than 2 Years: "This Will Never Happen Again"RoboCop was shot by director of photography Jost Vocano on 35 mm film using Arriflex 35 BL cameras and Zeiss Super Speed lenses, finished photochemically, and presented in the theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. Arrow Video brings RoboCop to Ultra HD in a Limited Edition release utilizing the same 4K master as before, which itself was sourced from a 4K restoration of the original camera negative performed by MGM in 2013 with the approval of Paul Verhoeven, executive producer Jon Davison, and co-writer/co-producer Ed Neumeier. The Director’s Cut comes from the same master, but the lower generation materials used to complete it are still present as the original negative trims are now considered lost. However, Arrow Video was able to a new 4K scan of these trims for this release. If I had one complaint about this extremely rewarding roster of supplements, it would be that there is nothing on Basil Poledouris’ phenomenal score! A passing mention here and there, perhaps, but this is quite a serious omission as far as I am concerned. You just cannot think of Verhoeven’s film without that theme pounding through your mind. The most interesting inclusion here would probably be the television version of the film, presented here in its entirety. It runs about 95-minutes and cuts out most of the graphic violence, even using alternate angles and shots to hide the violence. The foul language is also dubbed out (badly) and it’s about as effective as you would expect. It’s been sourced from a video and is presented in 1.33:1 (naturally) but it doesn’t look too bad all things considered. That said, the film is sparing in its use of bright colors, but what’s there pops off the screen more than the previous edition, and the main character’s metal suit is more vibrant than before. In addition, Arrow was able to source a new 4K scan of the extra footage found in the Director’s Cut, so those moments look better than they previously did. (The original elements for those trims are long gone, so those moments can never be restored to their original quality, barring something being found in a box somewhere.) In an eerily accurate portent of coming events, RoboCop is set in a crumbling Detroit of the future

Stream It Or Skip It: ‘Leo’ on Netflix, in Which Adam Sandler Voices a Lizard Who's Also a Child Psychologist Commentary by director Paul Verhoeven, executive producer Jon Davison and co-writer Ed Neumeier (originally recorded for the Theatrical Cut and re-edited in 2014 for the Director’s Cut) The MPAA especially did not approve of the gory presentation of the prototype ED-209 and Murphys execution. the bloodiest shots were cut out of the first scene and a lot of alternative footage was used in the other - only the DC shows Murphy loosing an arm in the gunfire. On top of that, alternative footage has been used for the car chase at the beginning as well as in the finale. Ok, i’m biased - Robocop was one of the first 18/R rated films that I ever saw, and has remained in my personal top 10 all-time favourite movies ever since. A defining moment in 80 cinema, the movie is a timeless classic of action and gore while philosophising what it is to be human, even if that humanity has supposedly been stripped away.Arrow then finishes off their new supplements with a couple more, starting with a 12-minute tribute to composer Basil Poledouris and the film’s score, featuring interviews with experts Jeff Bond, Daniel Schweiger, and Robert Townson, who all explain how the score morphs and changes with the character losing and finding his humanity. There is then a 13-minute video featuring Julien Dumont showing his collection of RoboCop memorabilia, which actually includes the original RoboCop armour (he bought it thinking it was from the second film only to have it confirmed to be what was used in the first). This feature was a bit of a surprise as it really showcases the art that went into the film’s props, and Dumont even shows how the costumes and props got cheaper looking with each new film in the series (comparing the police uniforms from the first and third film just shows how the amount of effort dropped substantially and the details are less impressive).

Robocop is coming to 4K to follow his prime directives in jawdropping clarity. The special edition release from Arrow Video is coming to the 4K format for the first time. Best of all this release includes both the director’s cut and theatrical cut. Arrow goes all out offering a number of audio options for both versions of the film, providing the original 4.0 theatrical surround presentation, a 2.0 stereo surround mix (I assume similar to what has been used on video since its original VHS release), and the 5.1 surround remix, all presented in DTS-HD MA.

Arrow Films have created what is undoubtedly the definitive 4K Robocop collection. The movie has never looked better, and likely never will look better than this. Grain is prevalent, and even more noticeable during the TV sequences, but isn’t distracting. The HDR makes Robocop’s armour pop with a violet hue that I’ve never seen before. The Improvements also include the Director’s cut footage, which on previous Blu-ray releases that I’ve owned had clearly not been remastered. Here it is, and while it isn’t a perfect match in quality, it Is closer here than it ever has been before. There is a wealth of archive and new special features, including a very charming interview with Nancy Allen. And the edited-for-television version, which I had actually avoided till now, is hilarious. Split screen comparisons between the Director's Cut and Theatrical Cut, and the Theatrical Cut and edited-for-TV version Update (December 1, 2019):I mistakenly stated that Arrow carried over everything from the MGM disc. This edition is missing a handful of production featurettes from the time of shooting, and a 37-minute making-of documentary. Though it's a shame that the featurettes aren't here the content of the making-of is pretty much covered in the other features that Arrow have included.

life in the streets, where real cops risk their lives to protect a struggling populace that, to the The DC shows Clarence and his men longer and he already steps to the side before a different shot of Murphy is shown in which we see his bloody stump. The censorship of the ED-209 scene torpedoes Verhoevens initial intention. the scene was deliberately planned as comically exaggerated to get some laughs out of the audience with the "Somebody want to call a paramedic?" line - the dark humor is watered down in the edited version, as Verhoeven criticizes himself in the audio commentary. During Murphys execution an interesting dolly camera pan was cut along with the gory head shot where an elaborate Peter Weller dummy designed by SFX expert Rob Bottin had been used. Paul Verhoeven was considered a cutting edge filmmaker when RoboCop was originally released. With a line up that includes Flesh + Blood, Total Recall, Basic Instinct, and Starship Troopers, it’s difficult to argue with that. A terrific visualist with a penchant for over-the-top violence, he also nailed the action and science fiction genres over the head, while at the same time putting his own personal stamp on his work. It’s also difficult to overlook the satire running throughout RoboCop, particularly with the local newscasts, the commercials in between, and the generic TV show containing the famous catchphrase "I’d buy that for a dollar!"There aren’t any further details on King’s The Long Walk adaptation but as soon as we hear more we will be sure to let you know. We see various shots of Robocop, a profile of a criminal on a screen and Robocop in a car witnessing a crime. Taika Waititi Says Donald Trump Submitted A "List Of Demands" While Filming A 2012 Super Bowl Commercial, Including A Particular Camera Angle To “Make Him Look A Little Thinner” Robocop is a titanium bullet through the cranium of a genre that we all thought had been done to death. Its powerful themes of rebirth and resurrection, its satirical observations of cutthroat corporate corruption, urban terrorism and consumer gullibility have not aged one iota. For a film dealing with a big metal man delivering harsh justice to an overwhelmingly crime-ravaged metropolis, it is surprisingly emotional and moving. The suit still stands up, too, even if many of the visual effects now have the charming patina of vintage. Though it doesn’t include all of the Criterion material this is easily the most comprehensive, satisfying, and extensive collection of features yet put together for the film, covering everything from each aspect of its production to the analysis of its many layers and the cultural impact it has had. An incredible effort by Arrow.
