| 2 | As [[https://www.cracked.com/article_24689_when-movie-sequels-just-start-making-fun-themselves.html this Cracked article]] points out, ''[=RoboCop 2=]'' could actually be read as a subversive critique of it's own existence. Like the ''Film/TwentyOneJumpStreet'' film, but PlayedForDrama. |

| 4 | The script was written by Walon Green and Frank Miller (the latter of which was in his creative prime in terms of subversive writing), and it's clearl the two intentionally crafted a complex meta-narrative about why any sequel to ''[=RoboCop=]'' is not only unnecessary but is destined for failure. |

| 6 | The film starts with [=OCP=] trying to recreate [=RoboCop=] but they all end in failure because they can't figure out what made the original so successful. While that's happening, [=OCP=] reprograms the original by adding in new directives to make him more commercialized and act like a Saturday-morning superhero (coincidentally, this was being made while they were making a children's cartoon about [=RoboCop=]) but this only succeeds in making him utterly useless as a police officer and a force for good. |

| 8 | In the end, [=OCP=] manages to build a bigger and better version of [=RoboCop=] (literally called "[=RoboCop 2=]") ''loaded'' with guns and explosives, but it goes haywire because it simply doesn't have the heart and soul that the first one has in spades. Ending in a showdown where the classic comes out on top. |
