Visible crew/equipment: During the first fight with Robocop, the Ninja makes some jumps, in one of these you can see how the floor is an elastic surface.
Visible crew/equipment: Watch the scene where Robocop is being assessed for fire damage in the lab. You can see a monitor on his far right side fluttering, however no other monitors flutter as the camera passes in the room.

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.
