Re: Robocop on Blu-Ray?

I think it did come out a while back, or was supposed to.

However, due to its VHS like transfer it was pulled very quickly, so I assume that it wont come out until it is remastered.

Cheers for that mate, I am glad they pulled it back as the quality does sound quite shocking from that review Guess I'll be sticking with the standard DVD until it comes out again.

This is one of my fav films, the one liners are classic ("I'm cashing you out Bob!") and is one of those films I can watch over and over again

Same here, i had read a few weeks ago that it had been pulled before release. Upon finding out why i would not have said that "i'd buy that for a dollar"

I really hope they bring a definitive BD release out soon.

Re: Robocop on Blu-Ray?

Just noticed this myself! I just hope it’s a good transfer as this IS my favourite film of all time (call me sad) and to see it in HD would be fantastic!

Sad



Just Kidding

80's action films are awesome imo, and Robocop is definitely up there with the best of them

Re: Robocop on Blu-Ray?

Robocop is classic film and easily in my Top Ten best films. I already have it on the UK Trilogy Box Set and the Criterion Edition, but I know I'll buy it in High Def!

Just got to sneak it past the missus!

Yup..needs to be the Director's Cut. I'd rather have letter-boxed Criterion than edited HD
