10 Movie Trilogies That Had The WORST Endings

4. RoboCop

Though RoboCop 2 wasn't great, it still delivered some thrilling action sequences and benefitted from Peter Weller's returning presence as Alex Murphy/RoboCop.

Weller was unable to return for RoboCop 3, though, resulting in him being replaced with Robert John Burke, but the real kicker was the decision to give the film a PG-13 content rating, ensuring it lacked the signature brutality of its two predecessors.

Beyond this, the script is a mess, RoboCop feels like a supporting character in his own damn movie, and by the time he shows up flying a jetpack, it feels like the series has partially become the very thing it was initially satirising.

If the original RoboCop genuinely had something to say about American society, the series ultimately limped to a whimper with its third entry that had more in common with a toy commercial.
