Special effects are OK and RoboCop even gets to fly, using a specially designed jetpack. But it's all for naught, as this series has run out of fresh ideas.

And... Delta City, an opulent, epicurean high-rise -- scheduled to replace a Detroit tenement -- is the business venture of a major Japanese corporation controlled by evil millionaire Kanemitsu. And mega-conglomerate Omni Consumer Products (OCP) has been hoping to get in on the gravy train by pandering to the Japanese corporation and dispatching its legion of armed forces to evict impoverished tenants.

Reviews for Robocop 3
This installment goes for straight action, allowing only brief instances of the facetiousness which made the original so enjoyable.
A pretty illogical plot, uninteresting characters and so-so effects are sure to keep this one a snoozer.
No, it's not a good movie. In fact, it's really quite awful, to be honest.
As for the conflict, it's hardly riveting and often it's downright silly. The sets and effects betray their downsized budget. And the Japanese bashing is less artful than in Rising Sun, though just as obnoxious.
Why do they persist in making these retreads? Because RoboCop is a brand name, I guess, and this is this year's new model. It's an old tradition in Detroit to take an old design and slap on some fresh chrome.
