* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Despite the many problems surrounding [[TheProblemWithLicensedGames the game adaptation]], the soundtrack is not one of them. The [[https://youtu.be/z754_a_aAHA title theme]], in particular, is a complete headbanger. While most would say that they prefer the [[Platform/NintendoEntertainmentSystem NES]] version of the song, composer Jeroen Tel actually [[CreatorsFavorite prefers]] the Platfotm/Commodore64 version of [[https://youtu.be/HaZSF67F948 the song]], due to him pushing the system's sound chip to its absolute limits in composing it.

* UncertainAudience: The film's tone is like it can't decide if it's a family-friendly ''[=RoboCop=]'' or if it's an edgy BlackComedy, leading scenes that create possible MoodWhiplash. For example, the film has a scene detailing OCP laying off workers, with the use of SuicideAsComedy. This is in a film with a kid hero as one of stars in a rebel resistance against OCP's Schutzstaffel-like Rehabs. Thus, you have an AudienceAlienatingPremise of a film with bits of kid-friendly whimsy like ED-209 being hacked by a kid, along with MoodWhiplash from the edgy, mature humor, along with [=RoboCop=] fighting against android sword fighters.

* SoBadItsGood: After two satirical and violent films, ''[=RoboCop 3=]'' comes in with silly things like robot ninjas and [=RoboCop=] acting like [[Series/Batman1966 60s Batman]]. The film also seems to have an identity crisis, where it can't decide what demographic it is marketed to leading to some [[BlackComedy rather dark]] SuicideAsComedy moments somehow being in a PG-13 film with a kid hero lead.

** Not to mention, the only real business in the city (who also operated the police department) has just exploded, and it's implied that the company that now owns OCP won't be coming back. Old Detroit is now entirely without industry and the infrastructure to maintain law and order, meaning that the crime-ridden, run-down neighborhoods the heroes were fighting so hard to keep are only going to get more run-down and more crime-ridden.

* CompleteMonster: [[PsychoForHire Paul McDaggett]] is a former soldier and the head of the [[StateSec Urban Rehabilitators]], or "[[ANaziByAnyOtherName Rehabs]]", hired by OCP to force the people of Detroit out of their homes in order to take their land in the company's name. While claiming that he will give them new homes, [=McDaggett=] has hundreds of men, women, and children [[KillThePoor sent to death camps]] instead. When [[Characters/RoboCopTheCharacter RoboCop]] and Anne Lewis stand in his way, [=McDaggett=] [[CopKiller shoots and kills Lewis]] himself, framing her partner for her death to discredit him. Sending his forces to attack the rebels, leading to several deaths, [=McDaggett=] throws money into the street to manipulate kids to act as a HumanShield and facilitate his escape from [=RoboCop=]. When the police refuse to work for him anymore, [=McDaggett=] employs the [[ArmyOfThievesAndWhores Splatterpunks gang]] to fight against the police and sends cyborg assassins after [=RoboCop=], later nearly shooting both young Nikko and Dr. Marie Lazarus out of prideful spite. When Marie and Nikko turn the cyborgs on each other, [=McDaggett=] reveals that he has them rigged to be a fail-safe on his bomb so that it would go off, with his only concern purely for himself and not for anything or anyone else.

** [[TheMole Dean Coontz]] is a [[DirtyCoward cowardly]] member of the Cadillac Heights rebellion who [[ItsAllAboutMe puts his own self-interest and greed]] above the lives of his people. Though initially serving the rebellion, Coontz [[{{Turncoat}} secretly throws in]] with [=McDaggett=] and the Rehabs in exchange for money, and actively helps [=McDaggett=] avoid Robocop and continue to oppress Cadillac Heights. Coontz ends up selling out the rebellion base to [=McDaggett=], knowingly sentencing hundreds of men, women, and children to death camps or immediate slaughter just to line his pockets, and he goes so far as to pull a gun on his former allies to keep them in place for the approaching Rehab death squad.
