Blade Runner + RoboCop
Experience two of the greatest science-fiction films of all time on the Castro Theatre’s giant screen in one evening! Ridley Scott’s profound, futuristic neo-noir delivers jaw-dropping Oscar nominated special effects by Douglas Trumbull, Richard Yuricich & David Dryer, while showcasing career-defining performances by Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer and Sean Young. We will be presenting a beautiful 35mm print courtesy of Park Circus (which premiered in 2007 at The Castro Theatre!) Running Time: 117 minutes. Rated R.
The evening’s double bill will be followed by the Director’s Cut of Paul Verhoeven’s subversive sci-fi satire RoboCop. Showcasing a truly legendary performance by Peter Weller as a cyborg policeman attempting to defend old Detroit from criminals high and low. Combining outrageous special effects by Rob Bottin (The Thing) & Stephen Dupuis (The Fly) and an unstoppably hilarious screenplay by Edward Neumeier, come find out why critics hailed this as the smartest science fiction film since Fritz Lang & Thea von Harbou’s Metropolis (1927) as well as who this super-robot-cop is actually fighting for. 4K Director’s Cut DCP is courtesy of Park Circus. Running Time: 103 minutes. Unrated.
The 4K restoration Director’s Cut DCP is from the original camera negative by MGM. It has been approved by director Paul Verhoeven and is courtesy of Park Circus. Running Time: 103 minutes. Unrated.
Attendees will receive limited edition, handmade screen prints designed by Sofí Caldas (first come, first served!) Admission also includes a very special raffle of prizes, a live pre-show performance by David Hegarty on the Castro organ and a 35mm trailer reel of rare science fiction films.
