History Trivia / RoboCop3

* OldShame: As mentioned above, Creator/NancyAllen and Fred Dekker aren't fond of the movie.

** [[http://www.robocoparchive.com/archive/movie-robocop3-dekker.htm Fred Dekker voiced his opinion about the finished product]]. While he maintained that he had a great time making it and was still pleased with the result, he admitted that there were inherent problems with the film as well as limitations in its production. He felt that one of those problems was that Murphy/[=RoboCop=]'s personal journey had already been wrapped up in the first movie, leaving little more for him to do than fight bad guys in the sequels. His biggest regret was that he had toned down the action, cynicism and violence too much at the request of the studio, who wanted to direct the movie at a younger audience (since they had already produced the animated series). Also, the basic premise of [=RoboCop=] siding with homeless people against an evil company did not suit the political climate at the time. Lastly, he had intended to put in more Hong Kong-style action through the Otomo character (being a big fan of that genre), but he lacked the budget to hire an Asian stunt team that could pull it off. What haunts him to this day about making the film is the screenplay itself. He felt that if he had another writer who had written the script like Creator/FrankMiller or his best friend, Creator/ShaneBlack, he would've had a different perspective and strengthened the roles of the actors in the film. He also personally regrets not setting up the scene where [=RoboCop=]'s Flight Pack is introduced. If he had to do it over again, he would've showed what its capabilities were for the payoff the end of the film. Dekker also said that he regretted [[spoiler: not resurrecting Lewis as a [=RoboCop=] herself, which he felt would have validated the movie's existence.]]

* DyeingForYourArt: Because Orion wouldn't put up the cash to build new suits for Creator/RobertJohnBurke, he had to wear a slightly modified version of the suits Creator/PeterWeller wore in ''Film/RoboCop2'' and Burke had said it was painful after a short time.

* CreatorKiller: After having some success directing the cult films ''Film/NightOfTheCreeps'' and ''Film/TheMonsterSquad'', Fred Dekker hasn't directed anything after the failure of this film. He would find some work as an uncredited script doctor for ''Film/DemolitionMan'' and ''Film/LethalWeapon4'', but he wouldn't receive another credit until being credited as a co-writer for ''Film/ThePredator'' in 2018, ''fifteen'' years after this film.

** As with the second film, Creator/FrankMiller was initially hired to write the script, and then his script was heavily rewritten. He later turned the unused script into a comic - ''ComicBook/RoboCopLastStand''.

* ThrowItIn: As revealed in his Netflix special, ''Our Man in Chicago'', it was Jeff Garlin's idea for his character, the doughnut shop clerk, to be eating a doughnut in the scene where the shop is nearly robbed -- and ended up sick because he ate 36 doughnuts over the course of filming.
