The last sequel in the original ''Franchise/RoboCop'' film franchise, released in 1992.
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=] ([[TheOtherDarrin 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 [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot gets a jetpack and fights robot ninjas]].
!!This film has the examples of:
* ArmCannon: [=RoboCop=] can now detach one of his forearms and attach a combination machine gun, [[FireBreathingWeapon flamethrower]], and rocket launcher when he knows he's facing a serious firefight. Or when he's just plain pissed off.
* BigBad: [=McDaggett=], the man in charge of the Rehab operation.
* BigDamnHeroes: The citizens resistance is about to be overwhelmed against the mercenaries, until [=RoboCop=] comes screaming out the sky with his jetpack on to provide air support.
* BillingDisplacement: Nancy Allen gets second billing (under Robert John Burke), despite having less screentime than Rip Torn (who appears in more scenes than her), and despite being [[spoiler:killed off a third of the way through the film]].
* BulletCatch: [=RoboCop=] does this, with a bullet that was inches from hitting Lewis.
* BulletholeDoor: 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 [[BottomlessMagazines 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.
* CaliforniaDoubling: ''[=RoboCop=] 3'' was shot in UsefulNotes/{{Atlanta}}, using many of the buildings that would soon be torn down to make room for the facilities for the 1996 Summer Olympics.
* CallBack: Lewis is introduced chewing gum and blowing bubbles, much like [[Film/RoboCop1987 the original film]]
** Robo startles Lewis by popping out the dataspike on his hand, much like he did to another officer in the original.
** The scene where Robo is rebuilt after being injured by a grenade is almost identical to his "birth" scene in the original, right down to the engineers in both films accidentally screwing up and then presenting him with a new part.
** The scene where Robo interrogates [=McDaggett=]'s lieutenant is identical to the Boddicker drug lab interrogation scene in the original, right down to the same camera angles.
