Robocop
MGM Home Entertainment brought two action icons to Blu-ray on Oct. 5, 2010: Mad Max and Robocop.
1987’s Robocop debuted on the high-definition format
Similarly, this was the initial Blu-ray release for 1979’s Mad Max. Released as a Blu-ray/DVD combo pack
Starring Peter Weller, science-fiction movie Robocop follows the story of a Detroit police-officer who, after being critically wounded, is rebuilt as half-man, half-cyborg. He’s put back on the force but is haunted by the memories of his former fully human self. In the sequel, Weller’s Robocop is threatened by a corrupt businesswoman who wants to retire the cyborg in favor of her own machine. And in the third movie, Robocop defends innocent citizens from evil real estate developers. Nancy Allen (Blow Out) also stars.
Mel Gibson is the cop fighting the bad guys in the dystopian action movie Mad Max. In a future when a motorcycle gang threatens innocent civilians, Gibson’s Max looks for revenge after his best friend and family are killed.
