Corrected entry: It seems very strange that RoboCop 2's remote won't turn him off, but it will deactivate his weapons. Why is it able to do one and not the other?

Correction: If you look closely the remote control has multiple buttons on it so most likely it has a shut down button as well.

Robocop 2 (1990)
Corrected entry: When Robocop 2 is introduced and goes nuts at the press conference at the end of the movie, Robocop enters from the left of Robocop 2 with an rifle. Yet when Robocop starts firing the rifle, he aims to his right instead of his left...meaning that he is missing Robocop 2 by a mile and firing at blank space!
Correction: It is clear RoboCop is aiming to his left and aiming at RoboCop 2.

Robocop 2 (1990)
Corrected entry: When Cain drives very close to the pole to make RoboCop hit it, RoboCop gets slammed in the face and falls off the van. When the camera angle changes after the Robovision shot of RoboCop hitting the wall, RoboCop is not actually hanging onto the van. He is just attached to the pole and falls off it. The van is behind him and travelling in a right angle to RoboCop's body. (01:02:19)
Correction: This is not how the scene happens. Before hitting the pole (there is no wall involved), RoboCop has his arm through the window. The shot after "Robovision" has RoboCop's face in the pole and his arm is not in the window. However, we also see the cab section of the van (thus the window) is ahead of RoboCop at this point. Unless he wanted his arm possible ripped off, he would have been smart to pull is arm out, thus we see when he hits the pole, of course he's not hanging on to the van any long. And the van is not traveling at a right angle to RoboCop's body, but parallel.

Robocop 2 (1990)
Continuity mistake: When RoboCop is being scraped up against the wall creating a shower of sparks, we cut to views of Cain. In one of these shots of Cain, the background suddenly changes - the wall he's scraping up against is nowhere to be seen and the sparks vanish. In the other shots of Cain, the background is correct. For some reason, a shot was taken from another part in the sequence and added in here, creating an odd continuity gaffe in the background. (01:02:02)

Suggested correction: This is not correct. When they show the interior shots, you can see the red brick wall out of the window.
This correction is untrue. You can find the scene on YouTube (look up the video "Robocop 2 (6/11) Movie Clip - Demolition Ride" and pay attention from about 0:55 - 0:58), and the background is definitely totally different - different type of brick, graffiti is missing, there's no sparks and it's in the distance. The original mistake is correct.

Robocop 2 (1990)
Corrected entry: 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. (01:01:29)
Correction: When the camera angle changes, RoboCop is not directly in front of Cain as of yet, which is why you can see Cain over RoboCop's right shoulder. Cain's 2nd glance at RoboCop before swinging the van, while still to the right, is less to the right than his 1st glance; suggesting RoboCop is moving over (which we see happen in the film).

Robocop 2 (1990)
Corrected entry: When Robocop removes the wire from his helmet, before he electrocutes himself, his right hand comes clean off his arm.
Correction: There is no scene like this. Before he electrocutes himself, he pulls the cable cord out of his helmet with his left hand, but nothing happens to his right hand. And the left hand never comes clean off his arm, but we do see his normal articulation.

Robocop 2 (1990)
Corrected entry: When RoboCop is in the lab he pulls out a cord from his helmet. As he does so, the helmet moves quite significantly to the left, (his right). I thought it was supposed to be fixed on with bolts?
Correction: It does move slightly. However, we've seen RoboCop without his helmet on, so we know it can be moved. It's possible it wasn't fully secured and only placed on to hook up to the computer.

Robocop 2 (1990)
Corrected entry: An arcade game is knocked over, then just seconds later it is standing again.
Correction: This is incorrect. We do see the game "Midnight Resistance" get knocked over. However the "Midnight Resistance" we see standing later is not the same one. The first one was next to the claw game and this is next to "Sly Spy".

Robocop 2 (1990)
Corrected entry: At the start of the film, RoboCop gets out of his car and shoots the guys who are robbing the gun store, and only one survives. When RoboCop goes to interrogate him, watch the bottom of the screen closely, Robo stands on the guys foot. A few moments later when Robo is lifting the guy up in the air, Robo has to stand back a bit, so he can get off the guy's foot and let him rise up.

Correction: This is not a mistake, but a question. There's various possibilities. The remote seems set up to control many functions of RoboCop 2, so it could be a malfunction or glitch while the weapons control portion is working. Or Cain could have disabled having his mind being controlled, but not able to control the weapons; etc.
