I, Robot

V.I.K.I. was the reason all the NS-5's were starting to rebel. This is due to the inevitable evolution of V.I.K.I.'s thinking arising from the 3 laws. V.I.K.I. claimed that humans were destroying themselves through war, pollution etc., and thus needed robots to protect them. Hence, some people needed to be killed in order to save the masses. All robots were infected with this logic and no longer obeyed the 3 laws, with the exception of Sonny, who was actually made to kill V.I.K.I., as he realises his denser forearm was made to withstand metal-eroding waves, surrounding metal tubes containing nanites, a substance that, when infected into V.I.K.I.'s system, could shut her down entirely. Sonny saves Dr. Calvin while Det. Spooner injects the nanites into V.I.K.I. All the NS-5's go back to normal and are taken to the storage facility at Lake Michigan. Sonny goes there, either to join them, free them, or be their leader.

Revealing mistake: Just before entering Robertson's office after climbing the stairs, Spooner is behind Sonny with a flashlight. The light shines on Sonny's back and the door, but Sonny does not cast a shadow.

Trivia: Alan Tudyk, who did the voice of Sonny, is actually visible in the film for one frame. When the stand-in robot is killed in Sonny's place, Alan can be seen in the brief flash after the nanites are injected. Confirmed on Visual Effects Team commentary. (01:18:20)

Question: If Lanning really had leaped from that distance, wouldn't he be unrecognizable upon impact and not with only a little bit of blood coming from his mouth?

Answer: He'd certainly have a lot of internal injuries that aren't visible, would probably have more injuries showing than that trickle of blood, but wouldn't necessarily be "unrecognizable."
