The first one directed by Paul Verhoeven is a classic. I didn't like the second (directed by Irvin Kershner), and hardly noticed that there were more.

When I was a kid in the '80s, my dad wrote about film and got a pre-release copy of the movie on VHS to review - uncut with all the gore intact that otherwise got cut before going up on screens over here. (because film censorship was a thing here back then). I watched that tape so many times...

1 is an amazing '80s sci-fi absolute classic, 2 is a fun '80s novelty if you enjoyed the first but nowhere near as good.

The other's and the tv show are hot garbage

When first came out I was 7yo and remember watching it on VHS with my dad, we loved the movie, but I was really scared of that second robot. It was so weird when it fell the stairs and made pig noises...

The first is obviously the best. 2 is watchable. I don't remember anything about 3.

I think 1 was the first rated R movie I ever saw, and really shouldn't have even seen it at my age. My parents must have thought it was fine because it was about a robot cop ... I guess.

There's a lot of ****s getting blown off in that movie, not to mention the infamous "birth" of robocop via a policeman being not so much filled with led as having huge chunks of his body blown off until the bullets that remained in his flesh made up 30% of his body weight. Can't imagine watching that as a kid, my parents were good at there job and showed me Alien instead.

100% agree. The first one is one of the best movies ever made. Robocop, Aliens, and Terminator 2 are the holy trinity of movies.

That's exactly what I'd pick for best sci fi action movies of all-time (I'd go Alien though).
Maybe a toss up between Robocop and Blade Runner, I love both equally for very different reasons.
But T2 and Alien for sure... Jurassic Park is great too.
