RoboCop: Prime Directives - Dark Justice

This is a definite must for any real RoboCop fan though I would not suggest it to someone not already familiar with the three movies as it uses lots of little flashback sequences. There are a total of 4 made for TV movies by Lions Gates that are a bit on the cheesy side by today's standards but definitely worth a view for fans. What else is there to say, I definitely thought this and it three companion movies were well worth the purchase.

Cheesy as can be but a fun movie movie for B rated sci-fi fans

Seriously I want to know who to submit for compensation in watching this absolute crap. The acting could have been better from a freshman high school drama class on their first day. They took a show that had some decent aspects and flushed it down the toilet. and their attempts to create a back story that follows none absolutely none of the original plot line or even robo cop's directives and the result was udder crap. I kept watching hoping for better lines, graphics, really anything but it fell so short I can see why even fox wouldn't air this crap. Hey you know I think I seen 6th graders in someone's back yard doing this with cardboad cutouts that explains it all now the snoopy neighbor filmed the kinds hoping to make a payday out of it,,,,,,,,never again

Confused at all the RoboCop titles you see on Amazon? Let's fix that. RoboCop: The Series is a 22-episode ,1994 Canadian television series based on the films, specifically, the series takes place between RoboCop 1 and 2. Richard Eden plays RoboCop in this version. Canada's Skyvision Entertainment paid $500,000 cash to Orion Pictures for TV licensing rights. The show is know for being made to appeal primarily to children and young teenagers, lacking the graphic violence that was the hallmark of the original film. The pilot episode is remembered for being adapted from a discarded RoboCop 2 script, Corporate Wars, by the writers of the original RoboCop, Edward Neumeier and Michael Miner. It does seem a bit silly that Robocop has non-lethal ways of dispatching criminals at times, and even young teens that remember the original film will be upset at the kid-friendly aspect of the show. Its not a bad show, apparently being rather expensive to produce at the time (up to $1.5 million per episode), but its rather lackluster to watch nowadays. RoboCop: Prime Directives, the 2001 Canadian TV, 4 episode miniseries. Page Fletcher plays RoboCop in this series. Fireworks Entertainment was about to have the RoboCop license expire so they rushed this miniseries into production. It consisted of four feature-length (95 min) episodes: Dark Justice, Meltdown, Resurrection, and Crash and Burn. You can find them all listed separately on Amazon, but you can still find them. I actually recommend RoboCop: Prime Directives, directed by Julian Grant. The family-friendly TV 1994 series held no interest to Grant, and he returned RoboCop to his dark and more violent roots. The Prime Directives series takes place ten years after the original film, and ignores all events from RoboCop 2 and 3. The director has stated that he did not do this because he didn't respect the other films, but rather to give him some room to craft his own story. It defiantly stands up better than the kid-friendly series, but it has been often criticized for its low-budget look (special effects, locations, action sequences, and so on). It defiantly has its own style to it, and though it was put together rather quickly, its not a bad series. To see them in order, you need to watch (1) Dark Justice (2) Meltdown (3) Resurrection (4) then Crash and Burn. Prime Directives premiered in the United States on the Sci Fi Channel to lackluster ratings at the time. I still recommend it over the other live-action series, though collectors will want them both anyway. Lets just ignore the animated RoboCop series at the moment :)

This was a well written and acted addition to the Robocop family of movies. It retained enough of the campy 80s feel of the original to keep it funny.

This was pretty decent series better than the one that was on tv but because I am a huge Robocop fan and enjoy B type movies/mini series it was well worth it. There are 3 others to the 4 part series but I had lost this one and one other one so I had to rebuy them.

This the first instalment of the Robocop mini-series, and I admit its the worst of the four. Of course since the next three are so good being worst isn't so bad. Yea, its made for TV but its good for a made for TV movie. It has the classic flash back seen in everything Robocop and we meet new characters and see some old ones all grown up such as Robo's son. Yea the character of Done Machine looks corny as heck, but his persona makes more since than some of the guys I could name and he doesn't play too big of a role anyway. This is a good made for TV movie that doesn't work if you compare it to three orginal movies. Just remember this is a part one of four movie so its a step up movie. This one is three stars for a made for TV movie and the rest of the mini-series can go from 4 to 5. I just hope they come out quicker than this one did. You should buy for no other reason than its part one of what will most likely be the last Robocop videos made.

I highly recommend it

Der Film ist, selbst für sein Alter, billig und schlecht produziert und dann schlecht ins deutsche Synchronisiert. Kann ihn nicht empfehlen.

Same for this one

Todo perfecto--all perfect, subtítulos es español, Thanks, disfrutad de esta joya, muy recomendado, gracias por todo amigo Un.saludo Gracias , perfect

The four Prime Directive tv movies, aren't too bad actually. They are much better than the Robocop tv series made in 1994. They bring Robocop back to his violent roots, which is awsome. These four tv movies could have been better, but what can you do, there are worser tv miniseries out there, much worse. So give this a shot, if you like it you like it, if you don't you don't.
