Mistake Continuity: When Otomo cuts off RoboCop's hand, RoboCop easily places his attachment in place of it and continues fighting. But his arm needed to be screwed off, and Otomo made a clean cut, so surely there would be bits of metal, plastic and wires that would have needed moving before RoboCop could put his attachment on?

Mistake Continuity: RoboCop is fast enough to catch a bullet at the start of the film, yet he is not fast enough to avoid obviously coming attacks from a group or street thugs and some ninja robots throughout the film.

Mistake Continuity: Why are there bullet holes all over McDaggett's van when RoboCop is shooting at him? RoboCop has an advanced tracking system, so he never misses. All of his shots should have hit McDaggett, and only 1 or 2 appear to hit him on his bullet proof helmet.

Mistake Revealing: When RoboCop storms out of the underground base to the police station, we cut to a scene in the police department. If you watch really closely, nobody actually moves in this scene for about three quarters of a second after the scene starts. People to look out for include the police officer on the far right standing beside a woman in a orange top, (only really noticible in the widescreen version), and the people behind their desks in the background. They are all still or posing, which is amusing to see before they all suddenly come to life.

Mistake Revealing: When RoboCop is covered in flames at the start he walks through a window. Watch carefully, it actually shatters before he walks into it.

Mistake Continuity: RoboCop bends down to pick up the map at his feet, and he does so by scooping his hand underneath it and lifting it with his thumb and index finger, as it is lying flat on the ground. Yet when the camera angle changes to show RoboCop correcting his posture, the map is now rolled up and he is holding it in his hand, which is now in a fist position.

Mistake Plot hole: It seems strange that RoboCop carries Marie out of the building in his arms, and lets Niko, a little girl, hang onto the back of him. When he is flying, it would have took an awful amount of strength to hang onto him, when he is travelling so fast and high in the air.

Mistake Plot hole: Robocop shoots the gun out of the rehab's hand in the motel whilst looking for McDaggett. Seeing as he's not far from McDaggett's room, surely McDaggett would have heard the gunshots and would have gone to investigate, rather then just sit on the bed and chat.

Mistake Continuity: Anyone else ever notice that in all three of the films, the name of the station that RoboCop works out of is always different? I'm sure these aren't in order, but, it's been called Metro West, Metro South, and Metro North. Sure, they may circulate him through the city, but, all the same cops always seem to follow him. Detroit needs to find somewhere to put excess cash if they have that much to blow on relocation for an entire precinct.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: During the first fight with Robocop, the Ninja makes some jumps, in one of these you can see how the floor is an elastic surface.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: Watch the scene where Robocop is being assessed for fire damage in the lab. You can see a monitor on his far right side fluttering, however no other monitors flutter as the camera passes in the room.

Mistake Audio problem: At the beginning of the movie, during the scene when Bertha and the rebels steal the police arsenal, the big guard robot speaks with a metallic voice to make warnings, but in the version of the film dubbed to Spanish, it is completely voiceless.

Mistake Plot hole: Marie and Nikko show up with a huge police van, and lots of computer equipment. Are we to believe that they stole these items from a busy police station and no-one noticed? How did they get all those heavy computers and machines loaded into the van by themselves? Did the police not notice one of their SWAT vans missing either?

Mistake Continuity: Why did RoboCop shoot a hole in the roof of the car at the beginning of the film? Sure it looks flashy and cool, but it is a car, and it has a door. There was nothing stopping him form opening the car door and shooting the Splatterpunks. It actually would have been quicker for him too.

Mistake Other: When Robocop gets his arm cut off by the ninja, he easily puts on the new arm. Shouldn't he have had to unscrew the existing end of the old arm which should have still been connected? And even if the ninja did cut it perfectly right where they connected, he would have stripped the threads where the upper and lower arm meets, so he couldn't have done it.

Mistake Revealing: When Otomo strikes his sword at the gas station sign, it shows him slicing at the base where the metal ring is. The slice is then shown several feet above the metal ring.

Mistake Continuity: In RoboCop 2, RoboCop gets his hand shot off and he carries on fine. In this film, he gets his hand cut off and suffers a major power drain. What a weakling he has become...

Mistake Continuity: A blatant mistake if there ever was one. The rebel who is guarding the underground base whacks Otomo with a metal pole on the right hand side of his face, yet when he stands up, his mouth is dislocated to the right, instead of the left. How is that possible?

Mistake Plot hole: Just because Niko is a fan of RoboCop doesn't mean she can hack an ED-209. Where would she get the model diagrams of an ED-209 to be able to find where he can be controlled from? Even during this scene, ED lifts the leg that Niko is working on and there's no sight of her.

Mistake Continuity: Watch the subtitles in the police chase against the battered yellow van. In one scene where the two gentlemen are narrowly escaping the hit, the young officer says "ease it up" but the subtitles say "jesus".
