Audio problem: At the beginning of the movie, during the scene when Bertha and the rebels steal the police arsenal, the big guard robot speaks with a metallic voice to make warnings, but in the version of the film dubbed to Spanish, it is completely voiceless.
Robocop 3 (1993)
1 audio problem - chronological order
Directed by: Fred Dekker
Starring: Rip Torn, Nancy Allen, Robert John Burke, Jill Hennessy, Jodi Long, Mario Machado, Remy Ryan
Continuity mistake: Many of the splatterpunks Robocop kills in the beginning of the film show up later in the street battle.
Splatterpunk #1: Clock it, Jack. Megazone invasion.
Splatterpunk #2: Pop a tranq, hypo-head. Splatterville's ours. Shoot him in the mouth, splatterbrain.
Splatterpunk #1: Cyborg eats bullets, Jack.
Splatterpunk #2: Not tonight, he don't.
Question: Is there any reason why this film was toned down so much in comparison to the previous two films? Much of this film played like a Saturday-morning-cartoon, and less like the gritty and violent predecessors. Just curious as to why this radical (and unnecessary) change was made.

Answer: They wanted to make the film approachable to a broader age group. Kids were into Robocop, even though the movies weren't necessarily "kid friendly", so they made the third movie one that parents wouldn't mind their kids seeing in an effort to get more sales.
