Goofs:

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): At the end of the second part, Meltdown, this quote is given: "The danger of the past was that men became slaves. The danger of the future is that man may become robots." The film credits it to Thoreau, which is impossible, as the word "robot" did not enter the English language until more than sixty years after Thoreau's death. This quote is actually from Erich Fromm.

Quotes:

RoboCable: [to Robocop] You have been recalled.

Why?

Why was our time wasted by Robocop 2 and 3 and that terrible TV show? This is the REAL continuation of Robocop. Robocop is back and he is HARDCORE! This has all the elements that made the first movie so great. The idea that Murphy's kid is now an OCP exec is great. I've only seen the first installment, bu that was amazing. The character of Cable was great, and the actor was wonderful. The end of the first installment...well, you don't really see this coming. Not the execution of it anyway. Well, I hope this is released on DVD soon! It's awesome!
