ROBOCOP

Endless Waltz has some sweet Hajime Katoki mecha designs, but that isn't enough to compensate for having the fruitiest Gundam pilots ever.

The 20th Anniversary edition is unrated, I wonder if it has the stuff from the rare criterion or whatever.

I was out there earlier today to see if there was anything worth grabbing for the "two $20 games for $30," and saw that too, but I only wanted the T2/Total Recall set and they didn't have it.  I just re-bought Requiem for a Dream for $4 (someone lost my copy of it a few years ago, paid me for it and I never picked it up again) and got the Robocop set.

Concerning the $30 deal, they have Viva Pinata for $20, but I wasn't sure if it was worth it and I couldn't find anything else anyway.

Violence. Robocop almost got hit with an X-rating back in the day because of it.

Quote from: Wiki
The movie was originally given an X rating by the MPAA in 1987. To satisfy the requirements of the ratings board, Verhoeven trimmed blood and gore from the most violent scenes in the movie, including the malfunctioning of ED-209, Murphy's execution (where his entire right arm is severed by a shotgun blast and a final overhead shot of Lewis sobbing over Murphy on the blood-soaked floor), and the final battle with Clarence Boddicker. It was re-evaluated and given an R rating. The original version was included on the Criterion Collection laserdisc and DVD of the film (both now out of print), the 2005 trilogy box set and the 2007 anniversary edition, the latter two were released by MGM.
