Robocop 3. 1993.

OCP now run by another chairman who deals with a Japanese business corporation want to tear down Cadillac Heights to build a new area forcing people to turn rebel until Robocop is framed for a crime and joins them to take down OCP and a team of mercenaries created by the company.

Robert Burke steps in where Weller should have been but he was off doing another movie, Nancy Allen returns but only in a smaller role (at Allen's request her character to be killed off early). Robert DoQui returns as Sgt Reed along with Felton Perry who plays Johnson the new Vice-president of OCP beside Rip Torn.

Fred Dekker takes the directors chair for this last outing of the original trilogy and goes with what he can do, does the director and writer deserve the bashing for this of the studio who funded it? Orion where in dire straits with bankruptcy and needed a good pick me up but with not so great funds to shell out, seems like they stepped aside the blame for the mess to other people. The violence is well toned down a bit from the first two movies, there is a bit of a laugh in this and seems a bit shorter in running time, it's not the best way to end the trilogy but entertaining.
