Allen went on to collaborate with De Palma on several other films in the 1980s, including Home Movies (1980), the erotic thriller Dressed to Kill (also 1980; for which she was nominated for a Golden Globe Award), and the neo-noir Blow Out (1981). In 1984, Allen appeared in the science fiction film The Philadelphia Experiment, and later had a starring role in Abel Ferrara's The Gladiator (1986). Allen was subsequently cast by director Paul Verhoeven in the science fiction thriller RoboCop (1987) as Officer Anne Lewis, a role she reprised in the first and second sequels.

Through the 1990s, Allen appeared in several independent films and television productions, including a lead role in the French drama The Patriots (1994), directed by Éric Rochant, and a supporting role in Steven Soderbergh's crime comedy Out of Sight (1998). As a result of this performance, the following year, she appeared in the crime film Kiss Toledo Goodbye, as well as the direct-to-video horror sequel Children of the Corn 666: Isaac's Return.
