Critical response Lav Diaz, writing for the Manila Standard, gave Bobo Cop a mildly positive review. He stated that though the film tried to cram as many imitations as it can into the story, from Police Academy to The Six Million Dollar Man to Jimmy Wang Yu, it was still able to garner effective hilarity. Diaz criticized, however, the film for becoming boring when it became a parody of RoboCop in the third act.
