Continuity mistake: A man fires a rocket at a police car driven by Robocop, but when the car overturns and it's shot at, one can see it's empty. A moment later, Robocop opens the door and appears out of nowhere.
Continuity mistake: When RoboCain kills the chubby man with a moustache, his jacket falls down in the back shots, but it's perfectly fit in the front angle. When he finally collapses, it's falling down again. (01:19:50)
Continuity mistake: Robocop shows up at the presentation of RoboCain, but he disappears in the wide shots, only to suddenly reappear when the shooting starts.
Continuity mistake: When RoboCain steals the remote control, there's a woman in black walking up the bleachers. A shot later, right when RoboCain clicks the button, the woman is suddenly way behind.
Other mistake: When Robocop jumps on top of RoboCain, there's a moment where RoboCain backs up, and you can see a burning car in the background. The background footage is in a weird, stuttering frame rate that's unintentional. (Likely the result of the shot needing to be re-timed by doubling or tripling frames for the stop-motion animation in the foreground.)
Suggested correction: You need to be clearer. Throughout the scene, all the fire effects appear to be shot live action. What exactly is the mistake you're seeing?
The mistake is poorly worded, but correct. When Robocop jumps on top of RoboCain, there's a moment where RoboCain backs up, and you can see a burning car in the background. The background footage is in a weird, stuttering frame rate that's unintentional. (Likely the result of the shot needing to be re-timed by doubling or tripling frames for the stop-motion animation in the foreground.) I'll submit a word change.
Continuity mistake: When RoboCain smashes Robocop against the wall, the shape and size of the hole, plus the cracks around, change 4 times during the fight, depending on the shot.
Continuity mistake: When Robocop lectures the kids about the hydrant, they are suddenly standing closer together between the first and second shot.
Visible crew/equipment: When Robocop talks to the baseball kids, the moving boom mic is reflected on his helmet.
Revealing mistake: After Robocop kills the man holding a baby, one can see the baby is a doll.
Revealing mistake: When the truck drives through the bar, the brick walls are a blatant thin piece of painted cardboard.
Continuity mistake: At the start of the movie when the gun store is being robbed, one of them fires a portable rocket launcher at the police car, causing it to roll over and spin. As it comes to a stop just outside the store, it's visible that the driver's side window has been blown out, and the vehicle interior is visible, however when the same guy prepares to fire the bazooka to finish it off, the window has returned and is completely intact.
Continuity mistake: When the mayor turns up at the steelworks to speak to the boy about getting money, the limo has square headlights and white-walled tires. Cut to a few scenes later when Robocop 2 has already turned the limo over, the headlights are now circular and the tires are all black.
Visible crew/equipment: When Dr. Faxx is programming the new directives into RoboCop, the camera pans around RoboCop's body. You can see the reflections of a camera and a crew member on RoboCop's helmet. (00:47:55)
Visible crew/equipment: When Robocop visits Cain's hideout and sends his car in as a decoy, after he returns to the car, watch the driving shot closely. A wire has magically strung itself across the entrance and attached itself to the back of the car - it wasn't visible from an earlier shot. As the car drives forward it stretches the horizontal wire, and just as a tiny amount of pressure is exerted, the car explodes. Yeah, it's technically a mistake, but I think it's more worth checking out just to see how those tricky effects are achieved.
Continuity mistake: Watch the lights on the police car when RoboCop and Lewis are walking towards the baseball coach. They are on, but just after they start walking, they get turned off. After the baseball coach has been shot, they are on again. (00:50:43)
Visible crew/equipment: Watch very carefully when RoboCop shoots the man in the yellow shirt in the factory scene. The man falls down the stairs and just as he reaches the bottom, a pair of hands come out from the bottom of the screen to break his fall. (01:00:02)
Audio problem: Near the end, just as Robocop2 has locked onto Robocop, Lewis holds up a container of nuke, she starts to say something, but the editor decided to cut that bit out and move on.
Revealing mistake: Just before RoboCop gets out of the car to walk towards the baseball coach, Lewis shoots at the coach and he jumps back. Watch carefully. Whilst jumping, his hat comes off slightly and you can see the make-up for the hole in his head, which he doesn't receive for a few seconds after this. Seen best in Slow motion on the DVD. (00:50:31)
Continuity mistake: When RoboCop is in the street with his new directives, he shouts "Back" at Lewis and puts his hand down to take his gun out. We can see his hand going down beside his leg and then coming up with a gun, but his hand was nowhere near his leg, and even though we hear the leg opening sound effect, the leg never moves. The same sort of mistake happens after RoboCop 2 destroys the Nuke hideout. RoboCop is investigating, and afterwards puts his gun away. The gun goes down to his leg, but the leg never opens, yet the sound effect is played. Sloppy camera work is responsible for both cases, it should have been higher up.
Continuity mistake: When RoboCop gets out of his car in the scene where the baseball coach is firing at him, the building behind him is reflecting the sun and looks very bright. Less than 2 seconds later we see RoboCop walking towards the electrical shop and the building is very dull looking. Where did the sun go? (00:50:36)
