Editing RoboCop 2 (section)

=== Casting ===
Initially, Orion was skeptical of casting Weller, under the reasoning that the audience would find RoboCop the same if another actor was under the helmet, similar to the titular character of Universal's ''[[The Mummy (franchise)|The Mummy]]''.{{sfn|Persons|1990|p=19}} Weller himself was also skeptical coming back; he disliked Neumeier and Miner's draft as a "cartoon" and lacking in tension, felt not "complete with the character" thinking "there was something else to say with it," and wondered if he should do months of training for acting in a RoboCop suit, or get paid for filming in the Caribbean for ten weeks.{{sfn|Persons|1990|p=19}} Ultimately, Weller returned for Miller and Green's new screenplay,{{sfn|Persons|1990|p=19}} and the fact that he would again work with mime Moni Yakim, who [[RoboCop#Casting|developed RoboCop movements for Weller in the first film]]; he praised him as the "magic element" to solve all of a crew's problems.{{sfn|Persons|1990|p=18}} Additionally, Russell Towery returned as Weller's stunt double, with Weller more dependent on him than the first movie.{{sfn|Persons|1990|p=19}}

Allen, despite already having played a cop character in the first ''RoboCop'', still made preparations for shooting ''RoboCop 2''; she learned martial arts and spent two months of training at a Los Angeles police academy.{{Sfn|Johnson|1990a|p=48}} Although Cain was originally planned to be a typical professionally-suited drug dealer, his actor, Tom Noonan, came up with the character being a former hippie, with the actor using his experience as one in the 1960s.{{Sfn|Counts|1990|p=45}}
