The lack of the original theme

Robocop music theme is the most iconic theme after James Bond.

Robocop 2 lacks the theme so much, I understand they didn't want tu overuse it the second time but the movie really felt short without it.

Sad. Great suquel though.

Agreed. I wonder why they didn’t use it?

The composer for Robocop 2, like Star Trek 4 and the animated LOTR before it, is INFAMOUS for his making new tunes for everything, yet everything he does sounds the fucking same.

I often said decades ago that RoboCop 2's greatest weakness was the lack of Basil Poledouris epic soundtrack. RoboCop 3 brought it back though, but that film was not written as well as the first two.
