ROBOCOP 2 MOVIE GOOFS

MOVING BODYSUIT
Details: During the scene where Robocop is about to try and arrest Cane at the drug lab, there is an unexpected movement of his body suit. As he reaches out to turn off the radio, if you look down you can see his thigh plate move(cyborg armour doesn't do that!).


WIERD ARMPIT
At the scene right of the top of the civic centrum when robo's clinging on to some cables. Robo 2 roars from below. Robo looks down. At that instant look at his armpit, the part where there is supposed to be black armour we see a black plastic bag cover instead.


STRANGE BOARD
In the scene when Robo electrecutes himself, the female cop Lewis knocks him away with a board. The problem is, the board she grabbed was at least 4-5 feet long. As close as she was to the transformer, she had no room to swing it like that to get it in between Robo and the transformer. She should have had to pry him away.


HELMETLESS COP
During the huge police raid at the Nuke drug facility, all the officers were wearing helmets right? Remember the black police officer who got shot at the leg and fell off the stairs, he wasn't wearing any helmet! They had to do that if not the others will not be able to pull him from under the pipes.


QUICK CHANGE
At the beginning, where Cain escapes the drug factory and he shoot the unlucky woman in the limo. When her corpse was thrown out of the car it was a different actress.


MAGIC WINDSHIELD
In the starting scene when Robo gets his car blown off and it flips over. Look closely at the window facing us(the driver's seat), the glass is broken. Now watch again just before the thugs are about to shoot the 2nd rocket, the glass magically reappears!!!


Error in geography
The phone number on the sign outside of the River Rouge Sludge Plant (Cain's hideout) has a 312 area code (Chicago), instead of a 313 area code for Detroit, which is where the story takes place.


Strange helmet damage
The damage to Robocop's helmet after being burned by the welder isn't consistent with the motion of Cain's mechanical arm.


Arm gone,arms back
When robo is at river rouge he gets his hand shot off but later when he is thrown out of the car you can see both of his hands are attached to his forearms.


Wires, wires, wires
When Robo arrives at the River Rouge sludge plant, he opens the gates and an overhead shot sees him disappear from the screen. His police car then moves forward, but however there isn't any driver in it at all, because although it explodes, a very thin black wire is pulling it along the sandy terrain. You can also see the wires behind the car, at the gate, that makes it go boom.


Lights please
Only viewable in the Widescreen version: When Robo picks up a pack of Nuke drugs from the car which the weapons store crooks used, he walks over to one of them (who is the only one alive) and very, very briefly you can see the lighting equipment which the production crew are using, on the right hand side wall.


Its the stuntman!
A zoomed-in shot of Robo's police car during the film's opening sequence (before it is hit by a rocket launcher) shows the stuntman who is driving it, wearing a black crook-style mask, with his eyes only visible, so he see where he's driving.


Can she see me?
When Hob arrives at the back alley arcade centre, Murphy is scanning him to see where he goes throughout the building. He hands some Nuke drugs to a young girl and before he says "There's plenty of Nuke to go around.", she looks at the camera, even though she isn't supposed to know that Robo is looking down above them. A nervous actress awaiting Irvin Kershner's "Cut!" announcement perhaps?


Robo grabs a ride
When Murphy commandeers a motorcycle to continue the pursuit with an escaping Cain in a small van/truck, the shot of him throwing his body over the bike shows his helmet with a much larger black eye visor screen - this must be the stuntman whom required more visibility to ride the bike. The following shot sees the stuntman look quickly behind him - Robo can't move his head around that quick.


Glass chairs?
The brand new Cain-ised RoboCop 2 opens fire on Murphy, just after his official demonstration at the OCP autiorium centre, which throws right back to the steps behind him. He fires at him again, but the next two shots show 2 blue soft materialised chairs being damaged. The second chair damaging shot has a synchronised glass-breaking sound. Why would the chairs have glass inside them or even made with them?


Weller its not
After Murphy blows of Cain's right short-arm weapon, he opens fire on him in 3 shots. The second is taken from behind Murphy, but it is quite obvious it isn't Peter Weller firing the Beretta, it's a full-size (but from waist to head) firing the weapon as it is moved away from the frame so smooth that if it was Peter Weller, he would go up and down and not as smooth when moving his feet backwards.
