They said the frank millers sequel couldnt be filmed, and the guy that directed it (Irv Kershner, did Empire Strikes Back) signed on to do the original script but the studio said hell no. I hated the plastic/blue look of the armor in the second one. The suit had a better design(the butt didnt wiggle when he walked when shot from the back) but his movements were way too mechanical, and he looked like a toy (all the plastic was too damn shiny)

They say in the first one that they want "total body prosthesis" so I guess that means he doesnt have any real parts, like arms or legs. Yeah, I was under the impression that it was his face, and yes, they kept the bullet hole. It was a plug. The effects/makeup/suit from the original were so awesome, and it was considered low budget too.

Very interesting about the sequel! I hated the paint scheme as well, I wish they would have just kept or improved on the brushed steel look. I am guessing it probably looked much cooler off film or something, because I don't get why they would make the change to the plastic look.

It's been a couple years since I saw either Robocop movie. I think I will have to give them another watch side by side to compare the two.

Pretty sure that was Gunny Highway who made him cry in Heartbreak Ridge. 

And the second sequel was worse than the first sequel!

 :lol He might just be crying the his name is Mario Van Peebles. It's a little hard to hold a badass persona when people mix your name up with a children's breakfast cereal.

Mikezilla:
Yeah man, watch em again. The first one holds up perfectly. I actually prefer the stop motion of ED 209 vs the stupid CG they are gonna do in the remake. The second one, although extremely violent, isnt any good, and the third one is pointless, dont bother.

As a matter of fact I just got the original on blu ray this last weekend!  ;D

I never saw 3 and I haven't watched 2 in a while but I remember liking it. The forst one i watch pretty regularly. It's a timeless classic.
