Equipped with the latest technological advances in medicine and artillery, the superhuman Robocop, his memory erased and his mind reprogrammed to "uphold the law," hits the streets of the city's crime-ridden districts. A combination of the Terminator, Dirty Harry and a Campbell's soup can, Robocop shoots with pinpoint accuracy, deflects bullets like an armored car, and handles his machine-gun sidearm like a cowboy...

Following a lunch of samkyetang, a soup containing a small chicken stuffed with rice and ginseng root, the two men parted company with vague promises to meet again. While much of the South Korean press chose to emphasize Chun's concession rather than his failure to agree to a referendum, neither of the Kims tried to place an optimistic gloss on the meeting.
