Is the Robocop 20th Anniversary Edition DVD worth buying?

[ShaneFalco]

I think it comes out on Aug 21

I already own the criterion and the robocop trilogy that came out in 2004


is it really worth the triple dip?


I think it has a steel case but I don't know if the special features are new or worth the money.

Nothing short of a prop piece of Murphey's blown off hand could make me buy that movie again, I loved the movie as much as the next guy but i'm astounded by the number of releases it has managed to get

The OP owns two copies of the movie and is contemplating a third... why not keep releasing it?

If someone will buy it, they'll sell it.

And on-topic.. you own two cpoies of this movie.. why the hell would you buy a third?

I saw all 3 movies but still not own any movie.

Pass on this one and wait for the high def version that is sure to come out eventually.

I dont know....it has some mighty conivincing stuff....

Its newly remastered and has tons more bonus features....for the $15 bucks i think Ill grab it....that way I wont be dissapointed if it comes out in high def or if it doesnt and turns out to be a rare collectible...

How does it stack up to the Criterion edition? Does it have the censored footage?

*EDIT
Thanks for the link, JokerCard

 

[JokerCard]

Yup, its has both the uncut and theatricle movies...seperated between two discs I think...with bonus features.

Check out the inf here....

You dare pose this question ? On this site ?

This is a no-brainer!

Lets hope there are some super cheap prices for this set.

i only bought the robocop trilogy since I did not have Robocop 2 and Robocop 3 in my collection

while this was the first film that had over the top violence and gore, i think owning one version is plenty

 

[projecteightysix]

I will pick this up, I've never bought the previous editions, and the new packaging looks very sweet.

Hopefully they'll give the same sort of treatment to Robocop 2, not 3 though haha.

 

[ninjalunchbox79]

I dont own any version of the film!!! So more than likely ill pick it up . . . . . one of these days.

I would wait for blu-ray or hd-dvd myself. I would say no if you got the other versions. The criterion one is pretty definitive even though it doesn't look like they cleaned it up at all special effects wise.
Family guy Robocop

Picked this up today, well worth the $20 price tag.

It comes in a steelbook case with an insert and two discs. There is artwork behind the clear DVD holder.

The movie looks and sounds its best, IMO better than the Criterion.

I am happy with my VHS copy but this is a good deal, although they are just going to keep re-releasing it, kind of like Terminator 2.

 

[hiccupleftovers]

I think I read somewhere (maybe on here) that Platoon has already seen 7 releases or some mindboggling shit like that.

 

[Stryffe2004]

Any word on whether the blue ray version is going to be this version r a bare bones version?

Well, HD-DVD will not happen, but your wait is over October 9th for the Blu-Ray version.

I would still buy the version released this week though for the case alone and put the BR version in it. Like other BRay's it will be just a normal BRay case, and not "steel" like this one is.
