Trivia:
|
- The movie was supposed to have custom-built police cars built on Camaro chassis. However, the day the first car arrived on the set, everybody took one look at it and burst into laughter. The decision was then made to use the Ford Taurus SHO.
- Two scenes storyboarded, but never filmed were: a scene where RoboCop visits his grave, and a long car chase which was an alternate scene that got them to the old steel mill (place Murphy died). The car chase was after Robo removed his helmet, and had Robo and Lewis break up a riot, followed by a shootout with Joe and Emil (with their military guns seen at the film's end). Eventually, they retreated to their cars where there was a car chase to the old steel mill.
- The point-of-view shots from Robocop include references to MS-DOS.
- The computer that Robocop looks up criminal records on is actually a Northern Telecom telephone switch.
- For the theatrical trailer Orion used the music from the Terminators arrival in The Terminator which is also a movie about a machine in human form.
