I watched Robocop when I was 9 and I got nightmares too but from the bit when he gets his kneecaps blown off with a shotgun. It’s mad how back in the 80s these films were not for kids but we were totally aware and hyped for them.

So when I finally got to watch it on video when I was 12 I knew three things - 1) it was originally branded an X rating by the MPAA, 2) some dude gets his dick blown off and 3) Roger Ebert gave it a good review. So unlike Dagan I was prepared for the horror show. Robocop 2 however, that was a bit much for 14 year old me in the movie theater. I’ve never rewatched the 2nd one.

I wouldn't even go into a room if I thought there was a double A battery in there. I used to think all batteries had acid back then. Have no idea why my parents let me watch it other than the 80's just being different.
