There was a weapon that was supposed to be used in the game called the "Revolverator", but it was cut off from the game. According to game designer "Corey Stockton", when you find a colorless Revolverator in the "Insomniac Museum" from "Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando", he said:
"You may recognize this drill from Ratchet and Clank 1. It was held by a "large construction worker (The Miner from Hoven)" who gives you a lump of Raritanium. This was originally a weapon called the Revolverator. Ratchet would strike enemies with it and then spin them over his head with the drill bit. Unfortunately, this ended up leaving Ratchet open for attack, and also required a lot of resources to pull off, so it was cut."

During the cutscene where you inquire the location of a jet fighter in Jowai Resort, one of the subtitles for the Resort owner's dialogue reads "Hold on hold on, I can see that you really want to fly our jet so I'll tell you what. Go talk to Bob at his Roboshack. He knows about these locks". The "Hold on Hold on" part of this sentence was omitted in spoken dialogue.

In the demo version, a cutscene in Blackwater City shows Darla Gratch says she's reporting for "Channel 64 News", but her microphone has a 2 on it. In the official release version, her small dialogue was change to "Channel 2 News", but her mouth doesn't match the words she says. In later games like Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando and Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal, she was reporting for "Channel 64 News", as was originally intended during development of the first game.

On the cover of the US release are a number of weapons in the background. One near Ratchet's head reads "____NTO-RAY". No weapon in the final game fits this name, nor looks like the image associated with it. However, one of the cut weapons for the game was called the "Giganto Ray", and it is likely that this design was left on the cover by mistake.
