Converted to ASCII text, it reads: "PETE KURAN IS A GREAT GUY". Peter Kuran was the special effects photographer.
     
  • The point-of-view shots from Robocop include references to MS-DOS, while the point-of-view shots from Robocop 2 feature a Apple MacIntosh-style interface, with a skull instead of the Apple logo.
     
  • Frank Miller makes a cameo as "Frank", the chemist who makes the drug "Nuke" for Cain.
     
  • When Robocop is in the Arcade, the majority of the video games are created by Data East. Data East was the creator behind the Robocop video games.
