What’s more disturbing about Robocop (1986) is that it is one of those films that had to be toned down to avoid an X Rating back then for its violent death scenes. The released R rated theatrical version was already too much for me thank you very much.

Shock factor as a goal is much harder these days for cinema thanks to easy access to god-awful 4Chan and other nefarious websites that can deliver the darkest human shit imaginable with just a few clicks.

Shit, when you’ve got a horror genre almost stuffed to the gills with nothing but torture porn these days, a film like Robocop is downright tame by comparison.
