Mistakes

When RoboCop is hanging on to Cain's truck, he is to the right of Cain, yet when the camera angle changes he is right in front of Cain. When Cain looks and smiles at RoboCop, just before swinging the van, he looks to his right even though RoboCop is supposed to be right in front of him now. See more...

Trivia

When Robocop picks up Duffy the dirty cop and throws him into the arcade machine, when Robocop then pulls him away from the screen, you can see that the game playing on the arcade is none other than Robocop. See more...

Entry When Robocop gets cut up, the kid says 'I've heard he's got a brain. I want to see it'. They then just cut his limbs off and return him to the cops. There doesn't seem to be any reason at all not to kill him, and of course he then returns and ruins all their plans. Sure, it furthers the plot, but they could have just scrapped that line and it wouldn't have been a problem. [The kid does get Robocop's helmet off, revealing the mass of lights and circuitry beneath that could be considered his "brain". Tearing him into scrap metal fulfilled their needs; they never said anything about killing him. Not tearing him apart any further was a character decision.]

Entry In the first Robocop film, RoboCop took on ED-209 and then he was shot by around 20 police officers for a total of around two minutes of screentime. Although cosmetically damaged, he was still operational and carried on. So how on earth can a little boy easily shoot off his hand with a few short bursts of a machine gun? If it was that easy to shoot his hand off, why didn't Ed or the police do it in the first film, and destroy him bit by bit? [Unknown what kind of shells the kid was using. 50 caliber armor-piercing shells aimed directly at the wrist joint would do the job, and apparently much more effectively than the standard police ammo.]
Corrected by BocaDavie
Entry Why is RoboCop 2 unable to speak? Surely if RoboCop 2 was to stumble upon a crime it would have to make some form of communication with the perpitratiors. If the makers of the robot bothered to put a computerised image of Cain's face on the robot, then surely they should have made a voice for him too? The digital image of a face is basically useless, and wouldn't have helped much in say a hostage situation or an assault on a building. [Another character choice. They must have decided that RoboCain would enforce the law using brute force. If he said anything it would probably be to ask for more nuke; something his creators would not want the public to hear.]

Entry At the end of the movie, Robocop rips Kane's brain out of Robocop 2 and smashes it on the ground. Only after that, the representation of Kane in Robocop 2 then dies. How could Kane, who is the brain, still control or react to his brain being smashed? Shouldn't Robocop 2 have died immediately when the brain was ripped out of him? [Although it looks like Kane's brain is hard-wired into the armor, a remote connection would not have been impossible. It would also be a good contingency plan in case the brain is separated from the body.]
Corrected by BocaDavie
Entry When Robocop is broken in pieces by Kain's crew, they take Robocop to the police station and a man throws the pieces of Robocop out of the car with one hand even though Robocop is very heavy. Several men are needed to carry Robocop in a scene later. [As a unit Robocop is very heavy. Individual pieces of him would be easy to lift. The torso section, weighing the most, was pushed out of the car.]
Corrected by BocaDavie
Entry When Robocop goes after Kain in the mill, they shoot off Robocop's hand, pick him up with a magnet, put him on a table and lock his hands and feet down. When they start to cut him up, they cut his leg off and it somehow falls to the floor, even though it was supposed to be locked to the table. [Robocop is not locked to the table, he is secured with huge metal chains. They don't actually show the leg being severed; it is done off camera. Kane's men must have pulled it out from under the chain and dropped it to the floor.]
Corrected by BocaDavie
Entry There's no way a kid could fire a Desert Eagle gun, not even the 357 version - they have a massive amount of recoil. [All Desert Eagle pistols employ gas-operated blowback system to operate. This, in addition to the pistol's heavy weight, lowers recoil significantly. And actually, 357. Desert Eagle was advertised as "Lowest Recoiling 357. ever" way back when.]
Entry In the future, Detroit is this absolute hellhole where crime is rampant, police are on strike, all areas are somewhat dangerous and even boy scouts have turned criminal, but when Murphy drives past his former wife's house (presumably in Detroit) near the beginning, the area is nice and tranquil where the kids casually ride bikes up and down and no one even has bars on their windows. Also given the amount of crime in Detroit, why does OCP even care about Robocop's prying behaviour?. [To answer the first mistake, it could be a gated community with security. To answer the second mistake, he was trying to bring up his old memories - if he became Officer Murphy again, he would cease to be RoboCop, hence no longer under OCP's control.]

Entry When Robocop 2 breaks in on the Mayor's meeting near the end, he lifts the big garage door and walks under. When Robocop walks in, there is a giant hole in the door. [Simple Cain used the darkness to his advantage during the murder scene so it was in his interest to not destroy the door he had no such considerations leaving the building, after all the door is buckled outwards.]
Entry We see the gatling gun on Kain's arm being fired through walls, vehicles, people, even straight through the side of an armoured van then through bags of money and still kill someone, yet when he uses it on Robocop it doesn't even scratch the finish on Robocop's bodywork. [If you look at Robocop's lower left chest plate, you can see bullet impact marks.]
