comment
The second and last sequel in the original RoboCop film franchise, released in 1993.OCP is working to finish what they've been trying to do in the first two movies — tear down Detroit, a city they deem as "beyond saving", and rebuild it as Delta City. As usual, it comes down to Murphy vs. OCP. RoboCop (now played by Robert John Burke) finds himself working to keep OCP from forcibly removing citizens to make way for "a better Detroit," and along the way, he gets a Jet Pack and fights robot ninjas.

Katanas Are Just Better
 RoboCop 3 / int_12a22bd8
comment
Katanas Are Just Better: Otomo carries a katana which is sharp enough to cleanly cleave through steel (a gas station's pole, Murphy's fingers and the two Otomos that appear in the final act decapitate each other with a single stroke after showcasing that they can withstand a full burst of machine gun fire to the face). This, and the fact the katana's user is an android with impressive skill, makes Otomo a significant danger to Robocop.

comment
All There in the Manual: The comic adaptation does have few details not seen in the movie, including the CEO being Bob Morton's dad, the Rehabs were setting up base in Metro West during Nikko's visit, and none of Murphy's fellow officers bought that he killed Lewis and realized it was the Rehabs who did it.

Otomo means "attendant" or "companion". This makes sense, since one of the reasons Japan wants to develop robots is to care for their growing population of elderly. On the other hand, it could also be a Stealth Pun, "Otomo-tan"... automaton.

This Ain't Rocket Surgery: Sarcastically employed.

The store clerk smugly puts icing on the donut by asking the hood, "What's it like, being a rocket scientist?"

Go Through Me: McDaggett tries to raid the church filled with civilians. After RoboCop tells them to back off, Lewis pulls out her gun and declares "If you want to get in there, you gonna have to shoot through us." McDaggett "gladly" and promptly blasts her with a burst of machinegun fire, followed by firing a grenade in RoboCop's torso who was standing beside her.

Villainous Gentrification: While it was a looming threat for the citizens of Detroit in the first two films, OCP's desire to create Delta City at any cost finally takes center stage in this movie and the Rehabs have no problem kicking people out of their homes and killing them, first in secret ("shot while trying to escape relocation camp") and then in open battle at the film's climax, to clear the way.

Blatant Lies: The OCP's TV ad about the Rehabs peacefully relocating the poor doesn't correspond in any way what the Rehabs are doing for real on the streets. In fact, it's far from helpful and very violent. Nikko has a conversation with Robocop, mentioning that if the rebels can hold off the Rehabs for a couple more days, they won't be able to make her family move and she can be reunited with her parents. Sadly, her parents had already been reported deceased. Robocop attempts to comfort her, saying that as long as she remembers her parents, they aren't really gone.

Dropped a Bridge on Him: The Old Man (played by Dan O'Herlihy) disappears in the interim between films, and no one seems to reflect on the fact that he's been replaced by The CEO. While it's likely that he faced criminal charges after what happened in the previous film, there's no discussion of his fate besides a reference by Johnson that he was "expendable".

Karma Houdini Warranty: Although the Kanemitsu Corporation walks away unscathed, this film is all about OCP's warranty expiring, with its stocks already in a death spiral before the movie even begins and then hitting rock bottom by the third act when the people find out what OCP is actually doing instead of "relocation" and then a significant chunk of the company headquarters gets atomized by the Otomos' self-destruct. Johnson also gets a lot of egg on his face when the Detroit Police quits when he tries to strong-arm them into helping the Rehabs (although whether or not he remains employed is left up in the air), the Old Man discovered he was not indispensable to OCP between films, and the new CEO is fired by Mr. Kanemitsu.

But for Me, It Was Tuesday: By the climax, McDaggett has clearly forgotten all about killing Anne Lewis. When Robocop tells him he's under arrest, he nonchalantly asks "What's the charge?" (Indeed, what he's currently doing isn't illegal, because he has the authority to do it. Then the hero tells him it's for murder, the event he, having a computer for a brain, is incapable of forgetting.)

Insignia Rip-Off Ritual: The Detroit cops in a police station are ordered by an OCP company director to expel by force some civilian from their houses (so that OCP can level the block for redevelopment). One of the older veterans refuses, yanks off his badge and throws it on the floor. The whole unit then walks past the director, each throwing their badge down. The director then used the prisoners and criminals to perform the task, along with its own para-military unit.

Idiot Ball: Anne Lewis has the ball when she chooses to go out with RoboCop after finishing her shift, but turns down another officer's offer of body armor. During the Final Battle, RoboCop gets blindsided and knocked down by two Otomos, and McDaggett threatens to shoot Nikko and Lazarus if he tries to get up. He then sees that Nikko is doing something on her computer, and instead of shooting her, like he had just threatened to do, he just says "what are you doing?" a couple of times, giving her time to hack into the Otomos and make them destroy each other. McDagget had the Otomos programmed a "thermal failsafe device", and that everything within 20 yards will be "atomized" within seconds. This helped Robo Cop exhaust from the jet pack burns McDagget's shins, preventing him from getting to a console in a futile attempt to stop it.

Zeroth Law Rebellion
 RoboCop 3 / int_7786a6f1
comment
Zeroth Law Rebellion: The movie has an example when OCP henchmen kill a cop. RoboCop's aforementioned Restraining Bolt now conflicts directly with both his directive to enforce the law, and the fact that cyborg or not, he's still a cop, and cop killers get no mercy. RoboCop overcomes and deletes the Restraining Bolt.

Attack Its Weak Point
 RoboCop 3 / int_82108e3d
comment
Attack Its Weak Point: The Splatterpunks get the idea to shoot RoboCop in the mouth, reasoning he's weak there. One protests ("cyborg eat bullets") but the other adds that they'll set him on fire, too. They manage to set him on fire, but don't get to try the other part. Not that it would have worked, since Robocop's face is only a superficial layer of skin stretched over a metal skeleton. It's doubtful a bullet would have caused any damage even if they had got it straight down his throat.

The guy whose sports car gets demolished in the pile-up with two squad cars bitches about how he'd just traded in his SUX for it, referencing a Running Gag car commercial from the original film.

Bullethole Door: The main character, a cyborg weighing hundreds of kilograms and who has repeatedly proven himself able to smash through walls with no damage, wants to enter the room of a baddie. Instead of smashing right through the flimsy wooden door, he feels it necessary to waste many dozens of bullets (all without reloading) in shooting out his silhouette in the door, through which he then enters the room. Earlier in the movie, RoboCop does the same thing to the roof of his car using his new weapon arm. He apparently felt it more dramatic to punch through the roof rather than open the door. That or the weapon arm blocked the door handle.

Big "NO!": The Otomos programmed a "thermal failsafe device", and that everything within 20 yards will be "atomized" within seconds. When they were destroyed, Mc Dagget is furious about this; however, Robo Cop exhaust from the jet pack burns Mc Dagget's shins, preventing him from getting to a console in a futile attempt to stop it.

Shout-Out: In addition to the meaning behind Otomo's name (see Meaningful Name above), he's most likely named after Katsuhiro Otomo, the author of AKIRA.

comment
Corporate Samurai: Omni Consumer Products (and its new shareholders the Kanemitsu Corporation) hire a band of mercenaries to force out the inhabitants of Old Detroit. To combat this, the regular folks form an underground resistance. Otomo is a more literal example.

Lighter and Softer
 RoboCop 3 / int_ce6555f0
comment
Lighter and Softer: The extreme violence, profanity, gore, and drug use of the first two films is toned down in order to appeal to children. Also, a lot of the foul language that would have been there in the previous films is replaced by some odd or outright bizarre slang. For example, one of the two thugs who plans to set RoboCop alight insults the other by calling him "hypo head". Hypo head indeed.

Did I Mention It's Christmas?
 RoboCop 3 / int_d0c30f35
comment
Did I Mention It's Christmas?: The story begins around the time of Christmas, as an armed robber enters into a doughnut shop with some Christmas decorations put up and the song "Here Comes Santa Claus" playing in the background — and the doughnut shop is full of cops. Some small Christmas trees pop up here and there in the underground facility where the evicted homeless people flee to.

Hoist by His Own Petard: Mc Dagget had the Otomos programmed a thermal failsafe device, and that everything within 20 yards will be "atomized" within seconds. This helped Robo Cop exhaust from the jet pack burns McDagget's shins, preventing him from getting to a console in a futile attempt to stop it. Killed by his own weapons that was meant to destroy Robo Cop.

Screw This, I'm Outta Here: The lady newscaster of MediaBreak finally quits when the absurd lies she's told to tell on the air get too absurd, with the breaking point being accusations that RoboCop slaughtered a convent full of nuns. The CEO, Johnson, and even McDaggett's fellow Rehabs book it after the two Otomos show up to fight Murphy.
