Finally watched both Robocop and Universal Soldier last night. I'd never seen an unedited version of Robocop. I will give Verhoeven credit for making the violence uncomfortable, simply because of the sadistic nature of the characters perpetrating it. I say that as someone who loves Hard Boiled and Equilibrium.
