The RoboCop franchise is one of the most recognizable. However, it has always struggled at the box office. Only the first film, released in 1987, managed to be a financial success. The sequels failed to reach the same level.

In this video, we're performing an autopsy on the future of law enforcement to answer one question: Why doesn't RoboCop work anymore? We're diving deep into the franchise's downfall, starting with the sleek, sanitized, and soulless 2014 remake to see what was lost in translation. Then we rewind to Paul Verhoeven's 1987 original - a razor-sharp, hyper-violent masterpiece of satire that Hollywood has been fundamentally misunderstanding for forty years. From the cynical, stop-motion-fueled chaos of RoboCop 2 to the PG-13 toy commercial that was RoboCop 3, we'll break down how a franchise built on biting social commentary and visceral grit decayed into a safe, corporate product.
