Yeah, the sequels really sucked, but Irvin Kershner ( the director of STARWARS:The Empire Strikes Back ) directed the second one. So I'm kinda baffled if second one was what Kershner envisioned, or was it the studio that killed the movie. The 3rd one is not worth even talking about.

Starship Troopers was great in my opinion also. I heard alot about it during preproduction. I never watched the sequels.

The dated visuals for Robobcop don't bother me as much as it does others, but the one scene that I think is the worst is "kenny's" death scene by the ED-209 enforcement droid. The whole scene is static for the most part, and the tiny model they used does not look good for rear screen photography. The gun flash technique they used was comprised of flash tubes, wrapped in colored plastic gel with cotton balls sculpted to look like muzzle flashes.
