Interesting Facts

The transformation of Schwarzenegger in the robocop in the end did not take place due to the type of actor. It was considered that in a costume of a robot-police Arnold will look too cumbersome.
- The costume of a policeman turned out to be so hard and it turned out so hot that the actor Peter Weller began to lose weight in weight during filming. I had to embed an air conditioner in a suit so that the actor in it was comfortable.
