I haven't actually watched any other Weller films other than RoboCop 1 and 2. Any recommendations?

Naked Lunch is weird and doesn't make a ton of sense the first time through, and the effects are a little dated (more so then Robocop) but it's a damn good film, and Weller really makes the difference. Buckaroo Banzai is decent, but nothing amazing. Those are the only other two I've seen.

Shakedown is a decent action film. I haven't seen it for over a decade, but I remember enjoying it. Peter Weller and Sam Elliott made a great team as they went on the trail of a gang of bent cops. Patricia Charbonneau from RoboCop 2 was Weller's love interest and Antonio Fargas (Huggy Bear from Starsky & Hutch) was in it, too.
It was directed by James Glickenhaus (The Exterminator).

Have any of you seen Cat Chaser? I taped it back in 1996 and I remember it being a pretty strong film. As always, Pete was the good guy, but it had a Latin American dictator in it who liked using garden shears to torture men who were seeing his wife and Charles Durning played a hitman who made his victims strip before killing them  . Abel Ferrara directed it.

Other Peter Weller films I like are:
The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai: Across the Eighth Dimension
Leviathan
Naked Lunch
Screamers
I'm sure I've seen more movies with him in them but those three I remember the most.

YES, ROBOLEWIS! Buckaroo Banzai is awesome!
For science fiction, go with Screamers and Leviathan. For action/drama, I liked Shakedown. For horror/thriller Of Unknown Origin.
