Trivia: Rimmer refers to people who speak Esperanto as "Esperantinos", but they are actually called "Esperantists". Not really a mistake because he's often shown to be an idiot, but worth knowing.

Trivia: The main characters in this film are Johnny and Stephanie, and the film is directed by John Badham. In one scene, Johnny watches Saturday Night Fever on TV. The scene he watches, (and imitates with Stephanie), involves two characters also called John and Stephanie. Saturday Night Fever was also directed by John Badham. (01:02:20)

Trivia: Stockard Channing was 33 when Grease was made, but was supposed to be playing a teenager. She was the oldest of the main cast members.

Trivia: Olivia Newton-John had to be sewn into her trousers at the end of the film as the zipper broke. They were put on in the morning and she was not allowed to take them off or go to the restroom while they were on, as the crew would have to waste time sewing them back on.

Trivia: In RoboCop 2, the little league coach has no lines, appears on screen for a few moments, and even gets a listing in the credits at the end of the film. The same actor also appears in RoboCop 3 as the guy who defends the rebel base against Otomo, (he hits him with the metal pole), and even though he has several lines and appears on screen for a fair bit, he gets no listing in the credits for the film.

Trivia: The 'sound of a dying giraffe' noise used by the boys is a reference to a character in the computer game "Doom 2" which mades this same sound when it is attacked. (00:59:55)

Trivia: The pianist for Big Gay Al's song is Marc Shaiman, who helped Trey Parker with most of the songs for the movie. The piano makers are Felcher and Sons, and a 'felcher' is a man who gives a 'rim job' to another man. (A 'rim job' is something Cartman's mother made us all aware of earlier in the film). (01:01:45)

Trivia: I never noticed this until I saw the film again recently on TV. If you watch carefully at the start you will see a deer urinate on some snow. A few seconds later, Stan scoops up this snow, and throws it in the air, letting it land all over him.

Trivia: On Cartman's bedroom door, you can see the vague picture of some sort of superhero. If you look closely, you will see that it is actually a picture of 'Orgazmo', the main character of the film Orgazmo made by South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker in 1996.

Trivia: At the very end of the film, the Hillard's are interviewing a very stern woman. Her name is crossed off the list that Lydia is holding and we can see her name is Paula Du Pré. Paula Du Pré is the film's Associate Producer.

Trivia: RoboCop 3 was released in Japan first to see how the film was taken by the Japanese people as it featured a Japanese firm taking over an American one and Orion feared that the Japanese people might find this racist. This is one of the reasons why the film wasn't released until 1993 worldwide, even though it was made in 1991. Another reason is that in the meantime, Orion went bust and MGM bought Orion and released all of their currently unreleased films.

Trivia: Nancy Allen didn't want to be in the film at all because Peter Weller wasn't in it. She eventually did agree to be in it, but she only wanted a small part. So her character was killed off early, as she requested, and all of the remaining scenes that were written for Anne Lewis were rewritten for a new character, 'Dr. Lazarus'.

Trivia: RoboCop 2 had the 2nd highest body count for a film in 1990, with 58 deaths. It was beaten only by Die Hard 2, with 162 deaths. (They cheated by having an aeroplane blow up, of course).

Padzter

Trivia: The auditorium used for the scenes at the end of the film was the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, Texas.

Padzter

Trivia: The abandoned hospital used in RoboCop 2 for Cain's death and brain removal scenes was the former Jefferson Davis Hospital in Houston, Texas. The building was demolished in 1999, and the property where the hospital was once located was sold off to the U.S Federal Reserve for $23 million.

Trivia: When Cain escapes from the drug factory at the beginning of the film, he shoots a Chinese woman who is hiding in his car. She was actually speaking real Mandarin to him and she said, "Take me with you, if not the police will catch me."

Padzter

Trivia: At the start of the film when the gang break into the weapons store we see two of them argue about the cops coming to get them. If you look closely at the gun rack on the far left of the screen you will see a Beretta M93R-AG gun. This is the slightly unmodified version of the Auto-9 gun that RoboCop uses.

Trivia: The Nuke drug holders are actually old tape cassette holders. The small capsule containing the Nuke is actually applicators for the drops that go on contact lenses, with water and red food colouring in them.

Trivia: In 1987, a known criminal who had just committed a robbery ran into a dark cinema to avoid being caught by the police who were chasing him. He became so engrossed in the film on the screen, (RoboCop), he didn't even notice that the police had emptied the cinema. When they stopped the show and turned the lights on he was in such shock, he didn't even resist getting handcuffed and led into custody.

Trivia: Former US President Richard Nixon was asked to help promote RoboCop when it came out on VHS. He plugged the tape on TV for $25,000, and he donated it all to the American Boys Club.
