Why ‘Robocop’, ‘Total Recall’ Villain Ronny Cox Hates Remakes: ‘Those Films Hold Up Pretty Damn Well’

Deliverence Featurette Blu-Ray - H 2012

The actor, who also appeared in “Deliverance” and “Beverly Hills Cop,” says those bad-guy roles were a boon to his career: “It’s more fun to play the bad guys a gazillion times than it is to play the good guys.”

Prior to the release of Robocop and Total Recall, Ronny Cox was best known for playing Drew, the nice-guy businessman whose morals are tested in Deliverance when one of his buddies is sexually assaulted. But Paul Verhoeven’s twin sci-fi epics made him one of the 1980s’ most iconic villains, which might account for why he’s not especially happy about both films being remade.

Well, maybe I’m a little prejudiced about this, but I hate remakes,” Cox tells The Hollywood Reporter. “I think both of those films hold up pretty damn well. And I wish them well with them.”
