Robocop is a scathing critique on capitalism. What’s nuts is I don’t think everyone gets that. It’s literally the underlying theme of the movie.
Same thing happens with starship troopers. People miss the fact it’s a critique of fascism and colonialism even though the movie ends with Nazi uniforms.

In all fairness, the Starship Troopers sequels forget the point of the first film too. And the fact that movies are supposed to be watchable.
But the movie has cool guns and explosions so who cares about that when we have shiny thing?
I’d buy that for a dollar!
This is off topic and super nerdy.
The phrase was originally “I’d buy that for a quarter” and it came from a story called “The Marching Morons” by CM Kornbluth.
That story was the basis of the movie “Idiocracy.”
