Factual error: When the first robot is trapped in the lift, the teenagers shoot the propane tanks on top of the lift in order to get them to catch fire and explode, killing the robot. However the teens are firing pistols or shotguns, and these do not contain incendiary ammunition, which is what is required to make the propane to catch fire.
Walter: You clumsy son of a bitch! Look what you did! I out to turn you into scrap metal for this!
Protector robot: May I see your identification badge please?
Walter: Identification badge?
Protector robot: Do not make any sudden moves.
Walter: Sudden moves? I'll give you sudden moves upside your head!
