A police officer was often seen driving about in his police car. Every time he drove the car, he was not wearing any pants. Why not?

Is he Robocop?

by **WiZ** » Mon Dec 07, 2020 3:19 am

Is he Robocop? He is

So this leaves us with the (arguably more interesting) puzzle question: Why did Robocop never drive his car with pants on?

by **GalFisk** » Mon Dec 07, 2020 8:08 am

Did the costume not permit the actor to wear pants while in the car?

by **WiZ** » Mon Dec 07, 2020 9:23 pm

Did the costume not permit the actor to wear pants while in the car? Yes. Why?

by **Doriana** » Mon Dec 07, 2020 10:40 pm

Were the costume pants too big/bulky to be worn in the car?

by **WiZ** » Mon Dec 07, 2020 10:46 pm

Were the costume pants too big/bulky to be worn in the car?

***** SPOILER *****

The costume Peter Weller wore in Robocop was notably bulky, and he couldn't fit in his car while wearing it. To resolve this issue, he only ever drove the car wearing the top half of his costume.

Congratulations, Doriana, on the solution, and thank you everyone for playing!

(And thank you Balin on the correction for the actor)
