In honor of José Padilha's remake of Paul Verhoeven's sci-fi classic RoboCop being released in theaters this week, just thought I'd post these images of Cain...the main mechanical villain of 1990's RoboCop 2. Back when this film was released (I just finished 4th grade around the time it came out), I was a huge fan of Cain—thinking that his design was a lot cooler than that of ED-209 from the first movie. To this day, I still dig Cain's design...and can definitely picture him being a more brutal and unstoppable machine through the use of computer-generated effects should an updated version of him pop up in a future RoboCop sequel (assuming the new RoboCop doesn't flop at the box office). RoboCop 2 was helmed by none other than The Empire Strikes Back's Irvin Kershner...and this was his last directorial work before Kershner passed away in 2010.
