Only had a quick scan through, but it looks like we are indeed getting the ultra-violent director's cut. Off for a proper read of the review now:)

Looks good.
No mention of the 2 sequels though, I know they dont compete with the 1st, but it would still be nice to know about the quality of all the discs. :confused:

Looks that when this MGM boxset is released I'll be getting rid of my Criterion then to some idiot on EBay... :nuts:

Yep sounds pretty good. Off to ebay with my criterion :)

I actually liked the second one, 3rd one was a skip load of cow dung though.

We are reviewing the discs one at a time, as we receive them...

But it is a definately a pretty cool release...

Do we at least know if the second is 16x9? The third is destined to spend it’s life looking at the underside of a coffee mug.

Will they all be uncut versions though? I know RoboCop will be but what about Robocop 2 which is cut by 40 seconds and Robocop 3 which is cut by three seconds.

Anyone know if they'll all be uncut?

If you look on the BBFC website (http://www.bbfc.co.uk) you'll see that previous cuts for Robocop 2 (http://www.bbfc.co.uk/website/Classified.nsf/ClassifiedWorks/7e1b546dee686cda80256af50031931d?OpenDocument&AutoFramed) and Robocop 3 (http://www.bbfc.co.uk/website/Classified.nsf/ClassifiedWorks/5171283b220a2dec80256af50031930c?OpenDocument&AutoFramed) have been waived. :)
