Quotes:

  • RoboCop: Excuse me, I have to go. Somewhere there is a crime happening.
     
  • Lewis: I just asked him his name.
    Morton: Let me make something clear to you. He doesn't have a name. He has a program. He's product.
     
  • RoboCop: They'll fix you. They fix everything.
     
  • Murphy: Role models are important.
     
  • Prisoner: I'm what you call a repeat offender. I repeat, I will offend again!
     

Trivia:

  • The costume was so hot and heavy that Peter Weller was losing three pounds a day from water loss. Eventually, an air conditioner was installed in the costume.
     
  • RoboCop's gun was actually a modified Beretta M93R: The barrel was extended and modified to resemble a casket. The weapon has three settings: single shot, three-round-burst (which was used in the film), and full-automatic.
     
  • 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.
     
  • Stephanie Zimbalist was originally cast in RoboCop, but had to give up the part when called back to film more episodes of NBC series, Remington Steele
     
  • ED-209's voice is that of producer Jon Davison. ED-209's body was based on the design of a Bell helicopter and the overall appearance is reminiscent of a line of toys named Robotech which were based on an 1980s animated cartoon series.
