RoboCop VHS Cover T-shirt There was a time when you chose the weekend’s film by walking along a wall of VHS tapes and judging the whole experience from the cover. And if the cover showed an armored police officer with a pistol, the decision was basically made. RoboCop is Detroit Police Department’s answer to a project meeting that went way too far: “Can we get more effective police activity?” “Yes. But we’ll need Murphy.” And then someone from HR should have stopped the meeting. Instead, OCP gets a cyborg officer with directives, the Auto-9, and still enough humanity left to realize that the company behind the project perhaps isn’t working for the public good after all. This RoboCop T-shirt nods to the VHS era, Paul Verhoeven’s sci-fi satire, and a future where privatization apparently also included resurrection. Dead or alive, you’re coming with me. On VHS it sounded even better.
