Robocop 3 (1993)
2 questions
Directed by: Fred Dekker
Starring: Jill Hennessy, Mario Machado, Nancy Allen, Remy Ryan, Rip Torn, Robert John Burke
Question: Why didn't Peter Weller return for Robocop 3?
Question: Is there any reason why this film was toned down so much in comparison to the previous two films? Much of this film played like a Saturday-morning-cartoon, and less like the gritty and violent predecessors. Just curious as to why this radical (and unnecessary) change was made.
Chosen answer: They wanted to make the film approachable to a broader age group. Kids were into Robocop, even though the movies weren't necessarily "kid friendly", so they made the third movie one that parents wouldn't mind their kids seeing in an effort to get more sales.

Chosen answer: There was a time conflict. Weller was filming another movie (Naked Lunch) at the same time RoboCop 3 was scheduled for production.
