Line 8:
** Clarence Boddicker is [[That 70s Show|Red Forman]] and his gang includes the aforementioned ''ER'' doctor and [[Reaper|The Devil]].
** Attentive fans of 80s comic books will also notice [[ROM Spaceknight|ROM]].
** RoboCop himself in the first two films is both [[Buckaroo Banzai]] and [[Twenty Four24|Christopher Henderson]]. In the third film, he's [[Thinner|Billy Halleck]]/[[Generation Kill|James Mattis]].
** Speaking of Christopher Henderson, what's Graem Bauer doing killing him?
** Dick Jones is [[Stargate SG -1|Senator Robert Kinsey]], [[Free Space|Admiral Aken Bosch]] ''and'' [[Total Recall|Cohaagen.]] There's just something about Ronny Cox's screen persona that lends itself perfectly to "corrupt high-ranking jackass." He was in fact [[Playing Against Type]] at the time -- he had normally played morally upright characters up to that point.
** OCP in the third movie was ran by [[Men in Black (Filmfilm)|Zed]] and he answered to OCP's new owner, [[Samurai Jack|Aku]]. Oh, and Cain, the drug-addicted (and making) cult leader in the second movie, was [[Manhunter (Filmfilm)|the original Francis Dolarhyde]].
** Now why would [[Twin Peaks|Leland Palmer]] be so silly as to try and kick Robocop in the crotch?
*** He probably didn't know that [[Twin Peaks|Albert Rosenfeld's]] design team gave Robocop balls of steel.
Line 17:
** Back when he had a full head of hair, [[Crossing Jordan|Dr. Garret Macy]] designed RoboCop!
*** And on that note, [[Crossing Jordan|Jordan Cavanaugh]] herself (alternatively, [[Law and Order|Claire Kincaid]]) was Marie Lazarus, the scientist who was friends with Robo in the third movie.
** The anti-OCP movement in the third movie was led by [[The Shield|Claudette Wyms]] and consisted of [[Malcolm in Thethe Middle|Commandant Spangler]], [[The Rock|The President of]] [[Armageddon|The United States]], and [[News Radio|Jimmy James]], {{spoiler|the last of whom turned out to be [[The Mole]].}}
** Hob, Cain's child henchman in the second movie, is played by [[The Land Before Time|Littlefoot]].
** Mario Machado and Leeza Gibbons were the newsanchors in the first two movies. Machado reprised his role in Robocop 3, but his co-anchor was [[CSI: Miami|Natalia Boa Vista]], who couldn't wait to go back to the Crime Lab.
