That said, the film is sparing in its use of bright colors, but what’s there pops off the screen more than the previous edition, and the main character’s metal suit is more vibrant than before. In addition, Arrow was able to source a new 4K scan of the extra footage found in the Director’s Cut, so those moments look better than they previously did. (The original elements for those trims are long gone, so those moments can never be restored to their original quality, barring something being found in a box somewhere.)Stream It Or Skip It: 'Christmas at the Chalet' on Lifetime, Where Divorcée Teri Hatcher Explores Love, Purpose, and Skiing in Aspen

More Man Than Machine: Composing RoboCop, a tribute to composer Basil Poledouris featuring film music experts Jeff Bond, Lukas Kendall, Daniel Schweiger and Robert Townson King originally wrote The Long Walk under the pseudonym of Richard Bachman at a time when he was concerned with our country becoming an authoritative regime in its dystopian twilight. Not too far off, eh? The most interesting inclusion here would probably be the television version of the film, presented here in its entirety. It runs about 95-minutes and cuts out most of the graphic violence, even using alternate angles and shots to hide the violence. The foul language is also dubbed out (badly) and it’s about as effective as you would expect. It’s been sourced from a video and is presented in 1.33:1 (naturally) but it doesn’t look too bad all things considered. There aren’t any further details on King’s The Long Walk adaptation but as soon as we hear more we will be sure to let you know.

What people are saying about RoboCop: The Director's Cut - 35th Anniversary 4K

Robocop is a titanium bullet through the cranium of a genre that we all thought had been done to death. Its powerful themes of rebirth and resurrection, its satirical observations of cutthroat corporate corruption, urban terrorism and consumer gullibility have not aged one iota. For a film dealing with a big metal man delivering harsh justice to an overwhelmingly crime-ravaged metropolis, it is surprisingly emotional and moving. The suit still stands up, too, even if many of the visual effects now have the charming patina of vintage.

In the TV, the long shot after the first gunshot is one frame longer before we see the gun barrel from which another shot is fired.The MPAA especially did not approve of the gory presentation of the prototype ED-209 and Murphys execution. the bloodiest shots were cut out of the first scene and a lot of alternative footage was used in the other - only the DC shows Murphy loosing an arm in the gunfire. On top of that, alternative footage has been used for the car chase at the beginning as well as in the finale. Arrow then finishes off their new supplements with a couple more, starting with a 12-minute tribute to composer Basil Poledouris and the film’s score, featuring interviews with experts Jeff Bond, Daniel Schweiger, and Robert Townson, who all explain how the score morphs and changes with the character losing and finding his humanity. There is then a 13-minute video featuring Julien Dumont showing his collection of RoboCop memorabilia, which actually includes the original RoboCop armour (he bought it thinking it was from the second film only to have it confirmed to be what was used in the first). This feature was a bit of a surprise as it really showcases the art that went into the film’s props, and Dumont even shows how the costumes and props got cheaper looking with each new film in the series (comparing the police uniforms from the first and third film just shows how the amount of effort dropped substantially and the details are less impressive). The Director’s Cut is housed on one disc, with the theatrical version found on the other. The former is one of the most famous Director’s Cuts out there, given the number of times the movie was submitted to the MPAA, which kept giving it the dreaded X rating until finally putting an R rating on it, a requirement of Verhoeven’s contract. The second platter also includes one of the notorious TV versions of the film too, albeit without much attention paid to image quality, which is to be expected.
