RoboCop 3
OCP is now a division of Kanemitsu, which has twin androids
named Otomo. Delta City is the number-one priority, Rehab Police are instituted
to depopulate the construction zone for relocation camps. Murphy sides with the
resistance group, the Detroit Police join in, a battle royal is fought.
The decisive
moment is when “my Joe’s gone over”, the mood at OCP is “fall
of Rome”, executives jump out of windows or blow their brains out. Haskin’s
The War of the Worlds exists by reference to the church scene, a hideout
for the group.
It’s a
question of blocking Murphy’s emotions and memories and attaching him to
the Rehab unit, a laboratory assistant refuses.
Money gathers a
cluster of children to block Murphy’s pursuit, cast on the street by the
Rehab chief. Criminal punks are hired to replace the DPD, Otomo goes after
Murphy.
Killer Cyborg
RoboCop Slays Nuns (re-enactment), the TV news co-anchorwoman reads this and
walks off the set (it’s preceded by a commercial for Johnny Rehab action
figures, Kanemitsu brand).
Kanemitsu-san bows
to Murphy, obviously not a “fat and lazy American”.
