From Quiz MediaBreak - We'll Give You the World

Answer: Pretoria

In "RoboCop", Pretoria is named as a "city-state" with a ruling white military government, suggesting that South Africa itself has broken apart into a group of smaller, independent statelets. The city is "besieged" and, as part of its defence, has procured a three megaton low-yield thermonuclear weapon, described as a "neutron bomb", from France. Pretoria is one of the three named capital cities in South Africa, serving as the location of the executive branch of government. Straddling the Apies River in the foothills of the Magaliesberg mountain range, the city was established in 1855 and named for Andries Pretorius, the late father of its founder, Marthinus Pretorius. Upon its foundation, Pretoria was named as the capital of the South African Republic, one of two independent states set up in the mid-19th century by Afrikaans speaking settlers who chose to form their own nation separate from the Cape Colony, which was ruled by the British. Pretoria's metropolitan area has a population of around 3 million, with the city itself, excluding surrounding townships, being one of the few in South Africa to have a white-majority.

Answer: A map to the rebel headquarters

Otomo entered the sewers and was quickly confronted by four of Bertha's men. They wanted to kill Otomo because he was affiliated with Kanemitsu and OCP. Otomo drove a bayonet into one of the rebels and shot two others. The last rebel smacked him in the face with a lead pipe and revealed that Otomo was a super advanced Japanese Robocop. Otomo broke the rebel's neck and then found a see-through piece of plastic. It had a red line which lead to the rebel base. He put it next to a map and then located the rebels hideout at an abandoned factory.

After hearing about his transfer location, Sergeant Reed mentioned that Metro south was a nice precinct. Reed quickly broke the pleasantries, however, by saying that in their precinct they get work done. He told Murphy to get to his locker and suit up. When he got to his locker, the other officers called the precinct "Hell". A few minutes later, Sergeant Reed arrived to take a name tag reading Frederickson off of a locker. The implication was that the officer was killed. Reed said that the funeral would be tomorrow and that donations to the family would be accepted.

Answer: Henry Ford

In "RoboCop", Henry Ford Memorial Hospital is a major hospital in the city, to which Detroit Police officer Frank Fredrickson is taken after being seriously injured in an attack that sees his colleagues Connors, Alcott and Duffy killed by the Boddicker Gang. There is a real Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, which was founded in 1915 through a major donation by Henry Ford. Today it is the centrepiece of Henry Ford Health, a health care organisation serving Detroit's metropolitan region. Henry Ford was born in Springwells Township, a small community in Wayne County, Michigan. At the age of 16, he left home to take a job in Detroit, where he began to gain experience around motor vehicles. During the latter half of the 1880s, he worked repairing, and then building engines, eventually going on to found his own company, the Ford Motor Company, in 1903. In 1908, Ford introduced the Model T, generally regarded as the first car that was affordable to a majority of the purchasing public. The Model T was also the first Ford product to be produced on an assembly line with interchangeable parts, and is seen as the beginning of the concept of "Fordism", which Henry Ford introduced as the idea of relatively high wages for workers mass-producing affordable goods. Ford is also regarded as one of the pioneers of the five-day working week.

From Quiz "Robocop 3": Part II

He discovered that both of Nikko's parents were killed in escape attempts from the rehabilitation center they were staged at. To re-assure the young girl, he asked her if she missed her parents. Robocop said that as long as she remembered her parents, they were never really gone.

Answer: Lee Iacocca

After RoboCop's successful first night patrolling the city, in which he prevents an armed robbery, foils an attempted rape, and ends the hostage crisis at City Hall, he is publicly introduced to the city and the world by OCP with a visit to Lee Iacocca Elementary School in Detroit, an event captured by the cameras of MediaBreak. During the visit, while interacting with the school's children, he is asked for a message for children watching, at which he simply tells them to "stay out of trouble". Lee Iacocca graduated from Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania in 1945 with a degree in industrial engineering, following that up with a master's degree in mechanical engineering from Princeton in 1946, from where he got a job with the Ford Motor Company. However, although initially employed as an engineer, he quickly asked to be moved to sales and marketing. In 1956, while working as a sales manager in Philadelphia, he devised the "56 for 56" marketing campaign, which quickly went national, and led to his moving through the ranks of the company's management. He was named vice-president of the car and truck division in 1965, executive vice-president in 1967 and finally company president in 1970. However, despite being involved in the design and introduction of a number of notable models, Iacocca clashed with the company chairman, Henry Ford II, and was eventually fired in 1978. However, the same year he was appointed as president and CEO of Ford's rival, Chrysler, with whom he remained until retiring in 1992.

Answer: Despite his inability to target kids, the kid shot him straight in the face.

When he first noticed that the kid was packing heat, Robocop tried to target him. The problem was that his targeting system did not allow him to target children. The kid said a string of profanities to Robocop before shooting Robocop in the face. The shot disoriented Robocop, sending him into a flashback where the kid who shot him was compared to his kid. Kain managed to escape in the meantime.

From Quiz "Robocop": Part II

Answer: The ED-209 could not walk down stairs.

The ED-209 was making Robocop look weak until the chase led to the stairwell. Robocop ran down and looked up to see that the ED-209 was having troubles. 209's legs were built too large, so as soon as it touched the first step, it tumbled down an entire flight of stairs. It fell onto its back and actually began to squeal like a pig. After Robocop escaped the machine, the police turned against Robocop. He was in big trouble until his partner, Anne, rescued him.

Answer: Acapulco

In "RoboCop", although there are few details given of the ongoing crisis in Mexico, it is indicated to be a civil war scenario that the United States has become involved in, on the side of the Mexican government. Despite this, those on the opposing side are well equipped, as they are described as having significant firepower in the form of missiles, and are capable of putting Acapulco's airport out of action. Acapulco is a major seaport city in the state of Guerrero on Mexico's Pacific coast. The city's location on the deep, semi-circular Acapulco Bay has seen it used as a major port since its foundation in the 16th century. However, in the 1940s the port began to be developed as a major commercial area, with new wharves and warehouses constructed, with major infrastructure improvements that connected it to Mexico City constructed in the 1950s. It was around this time that Acapulco started to also become known as a tourist destination, particularly for Americans, with new hotel resorts, and an expansion of the port to allow cruise ships to stop there. But, starting in the 21st century the city's status has declined as a result of the Mexican Drug War, that has led to Acapulco becoming one of the world's most dangerous cities, with one of the highest murder rates anywhere.

From Quiz "Robocop 3": Part I

Answer: At least twenty officers from the Detroit Police Force were eating there.

The man went into the restaurant, hoping to score some quick cash. What he got instead was the laser sights of several police officers' guns aimed right at his face. When that occurred, the clerk humorously told the criminal, "What's it like being a rocket scientist?" Murphy's partner, Anne Lewis was also there. She and two other officers answered a dispatch for a breaking and entering. They pursued the battered yellow van until the police cars were subdued in "Splatter Punks" territory. They were in grave danger until Murphy showed up to help them. He quickly got rid of the criminals and saved the lives of three officers.

From Quiz "Robocop": Part II

Answer: The abandoned steel mill where Murphy was killed

Anne Lewis, apart from saving Robocop, also brought him some items per request. She brought his gun, baby food, and a power drill. She gathered everything she could from the police station and she commented on how the station was pretty much abandoned due to the impending police strike. Murphy used the power drill to remove his face shield. He showed Lewis how he looked and then gazed into a mirror to view his current appearance. He asked about what happened to his family. Officer Lewis replied that Murphy's family went away and moved on with their lives. Murphy seemed quite saddened at the comment.

Answer: Butler Brothers

"Nukem" is an electronic game intended to simulate the deterioration of world affairs between different countries. In playing the game, participants invade their opponents' countries, impose sanctions and try to influence regime change, until someone decides to launch nuclear weapons. This has the effect of causing a small simulated explosion and holographic mushroom cloud to appear from the top of the game. Butler Brothers was a company engaged in both wholesale supply and retail. Initially founded in 1877 as a mail-order company by brothers Charles, George and Edward Butler, by the 1920s the company had significantly expanded beyond its origins to become a major retailer, with stores under the names Scott, and LC Burr. During the 1930s, Butler Brothers entered the so-called 'five-and-dime' market, launching the Ben Franklin Stores and Federated Stores franchise chains in small towns across the United States. This allowed Butler Brothers to expand its wholesale business, which it used to supply its five-and-dime franchises. The company also expanded into the department store area, building four new department stores in the Los Angeles area. However, in 1960, Butler Brothers was purchased by City Products Corporation.

From Quiz "Robocop": Part II

Answer: The bullets were explosive, capable of doing extreme damage

To show off the new gun that he received, Clarence fired at one of his henchman's 6000 SUX's. The automobile exploded in an instant, instantly captivating the criminals. Each of the men took turns firing the weapon, testing it out on such things as store fronts and fire hydrants.

From Quiz MediaBreak - We'll Give You the World

Answer: "An American Tradition"

The 6000 SUX is a four-door executive saloon car with a hatchback rear, that is regarded as a status symbol. For the production of "RoboCop", two complete cars were constructed using the body of the 1977 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, with new front and rear pieces constructed from fiberglass to make it appear more futuristic - there are rear mounted air intakes and a large, three part exhaust installed within the boot lid. The engine, chassis and interior of the original Oldsmobile were left unchanged. The name, 6000 SUX, was chosen as a dig, specifically at the Pontiac 6000, a mid-sized saloon, as well as other American cars in production when the film was made ("6000 sucks"). The 6000 SUX is first mentioned as the preference of Ron Miller, the former city councilman who takes the city's mayor hostage in an effort to regain his position, where it is described as having reclining leather seats, along with poor fuel economy. This is shown in the subsequent advert, where it is described as "An American Tradition", being able to reach just 8.2 miles per gallon.

From Quiz "Robocop 3": Part II

Answer: He refused by quitting the police force and throwing down his badge.

Mr. Johnson went to the police station to talk to Sergeant Reed about gathering fifty men to kill rebels. Sergeant Reed said that his officers did not do that kind of work. Mr. Johnson then threatened Reed about the future of his job, and the amount of money he'd lose if he helped Robocop. As a reaction, Reed threw down his badge and walked out the door. Afterwards, every other police officer threw down their badges and walked out with Reed. To compensate for the loss of manpower, Paul McDaggett and his team hired street hooligans to help them fight the rebels and cops.

From Quiz "Robocop 2": Part II

Answer: Steal an armored vehicle and ram the Robocop-2

From Quiz "Robocop": Part II

Answer: A tracker

Dick Jones gave Clarence the tracker because he wanted Clarence to kill Robocop. In normal circumstances he wouldn't have been needed but due to the fact that he told Robocop about Dick Jones, Clarence had to repay him. Boddicker agreed to do the task. He gathered his men and of course tracked Robocop to his hiding place at the old steel mill.

From Quiz "Robocop 3": Part II

Answer: He blew it's head off with a rocket.

From Quiz "Robocop 3": Part I

Answer: He shot himself

OCP was in a bad situation to begin with. Workers were killing themselves left and right, trying to get away from their troubles.
