Yes apparently it exists. I know because I bought it today and am quite happy. It only cost me £15.99 which I think is good for 2 great films. What I find interesting though is that now they'll make a box set for ANYTHING. Final Destination 1 and 2, X-Men 1 and 2 and so on. It's just stupid in my opinion. They never used to do it on VHS did they? Anyway that is my trivial rant for the day. Carry on.

you're thinking of a different kid. the kid in robocop 2 is that right evil little get who gets blasted by kaine.

the one in the third is leading a band of homeless people, as they break into a supermarket. when an ED-209 comes out and starts shouting threats at them, she plugs her laptop into its leg, and reprogrammes it. yes, it's as crap as it sounds.

those japanese ninja robots were ok, until (shock, horror) they are reprogrammed to fight each other at the end of the film, by the same kid.

At that point complete despair came over me, but the worst was yet to come - robocop with a jetpack. what can I say?

Much the same thought from me.

It's terrible - I mean from the start you have a KID reprogramming an ED-209. It really went downhill from there.

And you're right about Home Alone. 1+2 are great, 3 = complete crap.

there are very few films with kids in I can stomach. McCauley Culkin just manages to pull of being funny though.

Well, I mean, what's the point? If it's a choice between Home Alone 1/2 for £11.99 or 1,2 and 3 for £15, I'll pick the former, as what's the point for forking out £3 for a film you'll never watch?

Well, it's the worst of the three. He has a bloody jetpack...

Still, surely you can fit in 105 minutes to watch this pretty good film.

I think the psychology of box sets is that if you like one of the films, you are quite likely to fork out the extra for the set, even if the other films are a bit cack.

why, just the other day I nearly bought the hellraiser box set, before i realised that the third one is crap.

I bought the robocop one a while ago and haven't even watched the third one.

Actually: no, I haven't already bought them. I did consider it but then I noticed that Fellowship Of The Ring is shown regularly on Sky Premiere and I borrowed Two Towers of the missus' sister and watched it a few times. Come to think of it, I may need to borrow it again ...
