Goofs

When Murphy's car blows up on the drive way nothing else is damaged. No damage to the house, broken windows or burn marks etc., and no damage to the house next door.

When RoboCop enters the lair of Antoine Vallon, his left hand weapon is the "modified Mk.II Battlerifle". A little later on, it's an H&K MP7. When he shoots Antoine Vallon, the Mk.II pops up again only to disappear in the next sequence.

Although all of the vehicles in this future sound electric or jet propelled, apparently Mattox has an internal combustion SUV. When he spots Alex coming from the opposite direction on his jet bike, he does a U and floors it with definite gasoline engine and gear shift sounds. There are no gears in EVs and or jet aircraft.

Doctor Norton says that Murphy suffers "4th degree burns on 80% of his body". The bombing scene - and the images shown of Murphy afterwards - does not convey anywhere near that kind of damage. The imagery has likely been toned down for the PG-13 rating.

When they show Alex's partner in the hospital his heart rate is showing 35 on the monitor. His heart rate is not that low from the EKG pattern.

When during The Novak Element show Novak tells Sellars that Omnicorp's stock went through the roof there is a very simple math mistake. The stock goes from 520.70 to 1129.52, which is an increase of 608.82, or a 116.9% increase (608.82/520.70). Instead, in the movie they show the increase to be 53.9%, which is wrong, because the starting base is not 1129.52 (53.9% is 608.82/1129.52).

When Murphy/Robocop is in the lab and asks to be shown about the modifications to his body, the lungs move by themselves in their plastic "chest". Lungs do not have their own muscles but are compressed and released by the surrounding chest cavity.

There is no reason for not having a heavy duty glove to cover Murphy's good hand instead of leaving it bare and making him more vulnerable.

Visible skin on his face and surviving hand would offer a more human appearance and likely a greater acceptance by the citizens. Much of the apprehensive support of robotic law enforcement in this film was due to the inhuman appearance of pure robots.

When Alex is searching the computer with his voice, he says "Antoine Vallon," but the results appear on his screen before he says the entire name. Auto-complete could account for this, though.

When Murphy propels his motorcycle into the glass wall of the Omnicorp lobby, the glass breaks before he makes impact. That is because the ED-209's have begun shooting at Murphy, as can be heard.

Mattox speaks of how Murphy's armor will be able to withstand anything up to .50 caliber ammunition. This is a gross simplification since impact velocity, mass, jacketing and other factors apart from caliber will also greatly affect the effectiveness of a bullet.

While technically, and ballistically accurate, the "caliber" is presumed to be .50 BMG, as is most commonly referenced as simply, 50 caliber, or "the fifty". Very few small arms cartridge calibers are nearly as powerful, or could be used in an urban battle or attack platform, and certainly not in any practical handgun or shoulder fired firearm. Anyone with any familiarity of weapons of war, on screen or off, wouldn't question the simplified reference.

When Murphy goes to OmniCorp to save his wife and son, and arrest Raymond Sellars; he uses the outside stairs as a jump ramp to crash through the windows and land in the lobby. The lobby windows clearly shatter before his motorcycle hits them.

That is because the ED-209's have begun shooting at Murphy, as can be heard.

When operated on his brain, the brain is "sticking out" of the "suit", it should be several centimeters below because the "helmet" replaces the missing skull which is quite thick.

When Murphy realizes that his son David has an anxiety problem, he spins around with the bike. There are tire marks on the road from previous takes.

At 1"02'11", Murphy's head slightly bends forward when the elevator comes to a halt. He is on hydraulic systems which should not let his head move for this type of external force.

When Norton meets with Kline to warn her about Clara trying to contact David, the actress briefly stumbles as she turns away from the camera.

At around 1 hour 9 minutes, while RoboCop is riding his motorcycle, he holds and fires his pistol with his right hand while accelerating. A motorcycle's throttle is controlled by the right hand so this wouldn't be possible.

Furthermore, the pistol is in his right hand when he takes the curve and enters the warehouse (riding the motorcycle), then it instantly switches to his left hand in the next angle as he shoots his way through, and then he his holding both his pistol and his sub-machinegun as he dismounts the bike.

When Alex is fighting Rick and the EM-208s in the test range and he activates "combat mode", his visor displays "Tactile Mode" at the top of the screen rather than "Tactical Mode".

When the phone video at the end is being played, you can hear the mechanism turning his neck through the glass.

When Dr. Norton disassembles RoboCop to demonstrate to him the reality of his situation, the movement of his lungs do not match Murphy's speech.

(at around 12 mins) Squealing tires on rain covered street.

Takes place in Detroit, Michigan but Toronto's CN Tower and Canadian flags are visible when RoboCop is on his motorcycle on the highway.

When RoboCop is riding down the freeway, we see an exit sign for Annacis Island. Annacis Island is located in Vancouver, British Columbia, but the film is set in Detroit, Michigan.

In one of Pat Novak's broadcast segments there is a background map of North America, with the Michigan boundary illuminated for emphasis. The entire Upper Peninsula is excluded from the highlighting.

At 01:18:40 a Future Shop is visible; it is a Canadian store.

At 01:15:42, a Canadian "No Stopping" sign (black octagon inside a circle) is visible.

80% of Murphy's body is burnt. The face is approximately is 4.5% with the hand approximately 2%. So his face and right hand are perfectly intact and almost every other area of his body is completely burnt; this does not make sense, especially because his back was more protected than his face during the explosion (back of the head 4.5%, upper and lower back 18% and back of lower extremities "legs" 18% as well for a total of over 40%).

There is no reason for not having a helmet going all the way down to Murphy's neck instead of being short a few inches and making him vulnerable to any shot to the jaw that could severe his respiratory tract.

In the beginning scene in Tehran, the robot greets the locals in Arabic while people in Iran speak Persian.

In the scene where Murphy and Lewis attempt to trick Antoine Vallon into believing that they are buying weapons, he gets a phone call from the two corrupt cops to inform him of their true identity, he then orders his men to kill them both without any moral issues and the gunfight ensues. Yet in a scene a few minutes later, where the two corrupt cops meet with Vallon to discuss killing the two of them at the hospital, he is suddenly fearful of killing police officers, "Kill a cop, look over my shoulder the rest of my life."

Murphy scans the guns for finger prints but holds the gun by its handle with his "good" hand, possibly wiping off some prints while printing his.

Lewis's heart rate on the monitor shows 35 bpm, which is way too slow and should have alerted and prompted the medical or nursing staff.

During his training, Mattox tells Murphy if he senses he needs a weapon or is threatened, the visor goes down and the system makes the weapons available, yet when faced with guns in the lab, you can still see his face throughout.
