RoboCop clanked onto movie screens in 1987 with violence and cultural commentary and a robot cop for the lead. Detroit police officer Alex Murphy gets wounded in the line of duty, and to save his life, his face and brain are built into a robotic crime fighting machine who only wants to love. The satirical cultural commentary took a back seat among fans to the incredible action sequences, culminating in a slug-fest with the chicken-legged monster machine ED-209.  The franchise turned into a forced trilogy (stories by comic legend Frank Miller) with a relaunch film scheduled for 2010.  RoboCop remains an iconic hero for 80s action fans to cherish.
