Corrected entry: When Rico is making the clones, he says "these are your brothers and sisters." If the clones were clones of him and his DNA, they'd all turn out male, i.e. just brothers.

Judge Dredd (1995)
Corrected entry: After all the gunmen in Heavenly Haven are eliminated, Dredd is rambling off to the leader the list of offences and how many years in prison they hold. The last he says is first-degree murder of a judge. This was not first degree murder. No predetermination.
Correction: First off, this is set in the future where the rules for 1st degree murder may be different. Second, one can be convicted of 1st degree murder if the death occurred during the commission of certain violent felonies (felony murder rule) without premeditation being a factor.

Correction: Men have an X and Y chromosome, where women have two X chromosomes. Surely with the technology to create new clones in 24 hours, they could alter the chromosomes at a precise point to make some of the subjects female.

Not only would that cause a high rate of "birth" defects, but if you're altering their chromosomes they're not clones anymore.
I think the correction may have misled you. You wouldn't be "altering" the chromosomes or causing birth defects. One would just need to replace the Y-chromosome with an exact copy of the X-chromosome. All the females would still share the same DNA with him. Then it comes down to semantics if you want to call that a clone or not. For simplicity sake, they choose to.
