Movies That Could Never Be Made Today

Robocop (1987)

Robocop, the original film, would face criticism from both ends of the political spectrum if it debuted in today’s world. On the left, there would be disdain for its portrayal of law enforcement resorting to violence within the story. Simultaneously, those on the political right would take issue with its overtly anti-capitalist messaging and its challenging of the U.S. justice system. This dynamic blend of viewpoints would surely generate quite a stir if the film were released in contemporary times.
