Corrected entry: Throughout the entire film, the OCP logo actually reads 'OPC'. It is completely different than in the second and third films.

Correction: Depends on how you look at it. The P is implied or maybe even "under" the C and could then be read third. It's hard to tell which of the outer circles makes the O. The C is the only letter that is defined in the logo, so you could have read it any which way. There have been logos and insignias that are difficult to interpret, but easily recognizable regardless. Company's change logos when needed, and it would make sense given the change in the old man's philosophy for Robocop2 and the new ownership in Robocop3.

Corrected entry: When Robocop is in the convenience store about to arrest the guy robbing the store, the robber shoots Robocop several times with a machine gun. Robocop walks up, grips the end of the gun, and bends it down. Basic physics dictate that either the robber would be lifted up or the gun would be prised out of his hands rather than the gun barrel bending, unless the robber weighs a ton and has an amazingly strong grip.

Correction: Unknown what the gun barrel is made of, but it appears to be very thin (exterior circumference) and would be extremely hot after the robber fired so many rounds. This combination, along with the robber keeping a tight grip on the weapon with both hands and Robocop very quickly bending it, could allow the barrel to bend in the manner portrayed.

Rubbish. A machine gun barrel made of a metal soft enough to be bent in the way we see would be ripped apart the first time a bullet transited through it at supersonic speed.

Continuity mistake: Dick Jones brags (admits?) to Robocop, "I had to kill Bob Morton because he made a mistake. Now, it's time to erase that mistake" while Robocop is crouched on the ground, not only looking away from him from across the room, but also Robocop's eyes are in a vertical position. In the playback, Jones is facing the camera as though it were videotaped or filmed in a studio. (01:10:50 - 01:35:10)

More trivia for Robocop

Question: When Robocop is about to arrest Jones, he suddenly feels his system malfunctioning. Jones then explains that Directive 4 is used to shut him down if he attempts to arrest a senior officer of OCP. Why did Jones put this directive into Robocop? At the time nobody knew he was working with Boddicker.

Answer: Because he knew he was doing illegal activities. Robocop was said to be highly efficient at his job and Jones did not want to risk him out on the streets without the insurance of shutting him down if Robo came after him.
