To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.
Dr. Lazarus refers to the flight pack as having a command system that can be controlled by RoboCop's hard drive... so where is the hard drive? With existing internal diagrams that fans of the franchise have seen, including myself, there are no records of any hard drive in RoboCop's system what-so-ever. [This is only an inconsistency with the diagrams supplied to the fans, not a mistake within the movie itself.]
When Dr. Lazarus sees RoboCop she asks him for a system status report. He replies that his organics are intact and his efficency is 23%. Then Lazarus comments that it looks like RoboCop has a problem with his heart. If his organics are intact, why should she think this? There are marks on the left side of RoboCop's chestplate, which may have made her think this, but if she really is a doctor, she should know that the heart is actually in the middle of the chest behind the ribcage. [When Dr Lazarus is handed the "replacement" heart, she complains that she wanted a Jensen (the brand advertised in RC 1). It is not an organic unit, and therefore may not be placed biologically precisely.]
When RoboCop is damaged, he only needs 3 people and a little girl to carry him, yet in RoboCop 2 it took 8 men to carry him. Did RoboCop lose weight? [In Robocop 2, the 8 police officers have to hold Robocop with their jackets because he is hot from just being electrocuted, making it harder to carry him than if they were carrying him with their bare hands.]
In this film, RoboCop can't open fire on the rehabs or McDaggett as they are employees of OCP. Yet he was perfectly able to beat up Officer Duffy, an employee of OCP, in RoboCop 2. [While he cannot fire, the directive probably doesn't apply to him using his fists to assault Officer Duffy. Or maybe the directive doesn't apply to Detriot Police Officers...]
When RoboCop looks at the computer in the police station, he views a file of all the suspected homeless people who are trying to avoid OCP. Later, he meets Nikko, and then discovers that her parents are dead, recalling their pictures on the computer screen. But how did he know that they were Nikko's parents? He had never seen or met them before. They could have been anybody. [It's possible that the files could've listed Nikko as a child or next of kin. While it might've not been apparent on the screen, there could've been subfolders or dossiers of them that Robocop could've accessed or downloaded without it being apparent.]
In RoboCop 2 the female technical assistant could not remove one of RoboCop's directives using Robochamber equipment, saying, "Can't be done, not with this equipment...". Yet in this film, Marie is able to delete one of RoboCop's directives using machines she stole from the Robochamber. [Perhaps technology has evolved somewhat in this film from the last, especially in a robotics centre.]
I wasn't aware that traffic lights can be remote controlled so easily. How do the rebels control them, infra red, bluetooth, telepathy - perhaps wishful thinking?. Traffic lights are operated by underground wiring and can't be easily tapped into, or over-ridden by a remote. [Emergency Cars today use MIRT (mobile infrared transmitter) that allows them to turn red lights into "green" to allow them to pass intersections. This is done via a device that is mounted on the car and sends a signal to a device mounted on the signal pole, which looks like a small camera. The film oddly foreshadows a problem now facing many US metropolitain and cities, as people now gain access to these devices and try to beat the red light.
