Trivia: The infamous "melting man" scene was a controversial addition to the film, and many people involved wanted it removed as some found it too disturbing while others found it sort-of silly. In later test screenings, it also proved to be both the single most popular and single most unpopular scene in the film during audience feedback discussions.
Trivia: 7 suits were used to make the whole film.
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)
Dick Jones: I had to kill Bob Morton because he made a mistake. Now it's time to erase that mistake.
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.
