RoboCop<\/em> was written by Edward Neumeier and Michael Miner and directed by Paul Verhoeven. Set in crime-ridden Detroit, the movie follows police officer Alex Murphy (Weller) who is brutally murdered by a gang of violent criminals, only to be resurrected as the cyborg law enforcer RoboCop. Allen co-stars in the movie as Anne Lewis, Murphy’s partner. Weller went on to reprise the role in RoboCop 2<\/em> while Allen appeared as Anne in all three installments of the original trilogy.<\/p>\n

Weller has since gone on to appear in many other movies, which includes roles in Naked Lunch<\/em>, Screamers<\/em>, and Star Trek Into Darkness<\/em>. He also provided the voice of Bruce Wayne in the two-part animated movie Batman: The Dark Knight Returns<\/em>, which followed an older Bruce coming out of retirement to once again take down crime in Gotham. Last year, Weller provided voiceover work for the Adult Swim series JJ Villard’s Fairy Tales<\/em>.<\/p>\n

As for Allen, she would go on to make appearances in various movies and TV shows after her time in the RoboCop<\/em> universe. This includes roles in the movies Out of Sight<\/em>, Kiss Toledo Goodbye<\/em>, and Children of the Corn 666: Isaac’s Return<\/em>. More recently, she appeared in the documentary In Search of Darkness: Part II<\/em> to speak about horror movies of the 1980s.<\/p>\n

Today, let’s hope both Weller and Allen are enjoying their special day, and let us also join the rest of the fans in wishing a happy birthday to them both. The occasion also marks the perfect day to revisit the original RoboCop<\/em>, which is streaming for FREE right now on Tubi.
