Corrected entry: It seems very strange that RoboCop 2's remote won't turn him off, but it will deactivate his weapons. Why is it able to do one and not the other?

Correction: If you look closely the remote control has multiple buttons on it so most likely it has a shut down button as well.

Robocop 2 (1990)
Corrected entry: When Cain drives very close to the pole to make RoboCop hit it, RoboCop gets slammed in the face and falls off the van. When the camera angle changes after the Robovision shot of RoboCop hitting the wall, RoboCop is not actually hanging onto the van. He is just attached to the pole and falls off it. The van is behind him and travelling in a right angle to RoboCop's body. (01:02:19)
Correction: This is not how the scene happens. Before hitting the pole (there is no wall involved), RoboCop has his arm through the window. The shot after "Robovision" has RoboCop's face in the pole and his arm is not in the window. However, we also see the cab section of the van (thus the window) is ahead of RoboCop at this point. Unless he wanted his arm possible ripped off, he would have been smart to pull is arm out, thus we see when he hits the pole, of course he's not hanging on to the van any long. And the van is not traveling at a right angle to RoboCop's body, but parallel.

Robocop 2 (1990)
Corrected entry: When RoboCop is hanging on to Cain's truck, he is to the right of Cain, yet when the camera angle changes he is right in front of Cain. When Cain looks and smiles at RoboCop, just before swinging the van, he looks to his right even though RoboCop is supposed to be right in front of him now. (01:01:29)
Correction: When the camera angle changes, RoboCop is not directly in front of Cain as of yet, which is why you can see Cain over RoboCop's right shoulder. Cain's 2nd glance at RoboCop before swinging the van, while still to the right, is less to the right than his 1st glance; suggesting RoboCop is moving over (which we see happen in the film).

Robocop 2 (1990)
Corrected entry: When RoboCop is in the lab he pulls out a cord from his helmet. As he does so, the helmet moves quite significantly to the left, (his right). I thought it was supposed to be fixed on with bolts?
Correction: It does move slightly. However, we've seen RoboCop without his helmet on, so we know it can be moved. It's possible it wasn't fully secured and only placed on to hook up to the computer.

Robocop 2 (1990)
Corrected entry: At the start of the film, RoboCop gets out of his car and shoots the guys who are robbing the gun store, and only one survives. When RoboCop goes to interrogate him, watch the bottom of the screen closely, Robo stands on the guys foot. A few moments later when Robo is lifting the guy up in the air, Robo has to stand back a bit, so he can get off the guy's foot and let him rise up.

Robocop 2 (1990)
Corrected entry: When RoboCop is at Cain's hideout, River Rouge, there is a sign with a phone number on the gate. The area code on the sign is "312" which is actually Chicago, instead of the proper "313" needed for Detroit. (00:31:29)
Correction: Not necessarily incorrect at all: a lot of real estate is managed out of other cities, particularly Chicago. A brownfield property as shown could readily be owned or managed by a Chicago-based commercial/industrial real estate organization.

Robocop 2 (1990)
Corrected entry: Cain's eyes are brown for most of the film. They turn green when we see his eyes and brain in the glass tube, and again on the RoboCop 2 interface screen. (01:09:23)
Correction: Not really true. At the start of the movie Cain's face is covered either with shadow (or just low light) and his pupils are very large, so you can't really see what colour his eyes are. They may look brown or hazel, however when Robocop is hanging on to the Bomb Disposal van with Cain driving, you can see that his eyes have a definite green colour.

Robocop 2 (1990)
Corrected entry: In the first Robocop film, RoboCop took on ED-209 and then he was shot by around 20 police officers for a total of around two minutes of screentime. Although cosmetically damaged, he was still operational and carried on. So how on earth can a little boy easily shoot off his hand with a few short bursts of a machine gun? If it was that easy to shoot his hand off, why didn't Ed or the police do it in the first film, and destroy him bit by bit?

Robocop 2 (1990)
Corrected entry: Why is RoboCop 2 unable to speak? Surely if RoboCop 2 was to stumble upon a crime it would have to make some form of communication with the perpitratiors. If the makers of the robot bothered to put a computerised image of Cain's face on the robot, then surely they should have made a voice for him too? The digital image of a face is basically useless, and wouldn't have helped much in say a hostage situation or an assault on a building.

Correction: This is not a mistake, but a question. There's various possibilities. The remote seems set up to control many functions of RoboCop 2, so it could be a malfunction or glitch while the weapons control portion is working. Or Cain could have disabled having his mind being controlled, but not able to control the weapons; etc.
