The Often Overlooked RoboCop 2 Is Getting A 4K Blu-ray Release

The big draw for this new cut of RoboCop 2 is that the 4K transfer is scanned from the original camera negative for that added touch of authenticity.

The 4K Blu-ray release also comes with plenty of special features, including two audio commentary tracks--one featuring film writer Paul Sammon and another containing the voices of RoboCop documentary producers Gary Smart, Chris Griffiths, and Eastwood Allen. There are also several new and archival interviews with the cast of the sequel, a behind-the-scenes look at the movie's production, trailers, TV spots, and an image gallery.

The base version with the 4K Blu-ray, standard Blu-ray, and digital streaming code will be released on June 18 and is available for preorder at Amazon, while Shout Factory is offering an exclusive collector's edition with stickers, pins, and lobby cards.

For something more modern, preorders are also live for the 2014 remake of RoboCop. While it pales in comparison to the original film, this remake still had several great ideas and a pretty solid cast attached to it. Joel Kinnaman suited up as police officer Alex Murphy for this film, and he was joined by Gary Oldman, Samuel L. Jackson, and Michael Keaton. While the original RoboCop was an action-packed satire, this remake went in a different direction and examined just how messed up it would be to be transformed into a walking weapon. Plus, the RoboCop costume redesign was pretty cool.
