Other mistake: When Devito sends Arnold into the house to get his stuff and go with him to New Mexico and Houston, Devito quickly jumps into the car to drive off. (You can see on the long street behind him that there are no cars coming). Yet, not one second has gone by and you are looking at him from the front of the car and Linda and her sister pull up behind him blocking him in the driveway. They turned in from the left which was the same stretch of street you were looking at with no cars on it just one moment earlier. (00:48:40)

9.3/10.A fun Schwarzenegger movie and the only time I could tolerate Devito. The whole idea was so silly in that's what made it work.A man created to be perfect sounds part mad scientist part Nazi thinking.Here though it come off harmless and funny especially when a second child's born.If there was a message it's man shouldn't try to create a perfect person because he can't.The best one can do is raise a child with love and understanding not like an experiment.The love interests here of Chloe Webb for Devito and Kelly Preston for Schwarzenegger were great.I found Ms Preston to be one of the best leading ladies in any of Schwarzenegger's movies.She will be missed.

Vincent: Now I know you're probably used to growing your own vegetables and spearing fish on the lagoon. But here on the mainland, we just nuke it.
Trivia: In the opening scenes, an uncredited Heather Graham plays the mother of the title characters.
Question: Why did Traven lie to Mary-Ann and tell her that Julius died at birth and that Vincent was never born?
Answer: Because the offspring of this experiment was meant to be studied, researched. Mary-Ann showed signs of maternal attachment toward the end of her pregnancy, which the scientists involved felt would hinder the experiment due to her not wanting her baby poked and prodded at all day, every day. So she was told her baby died at birth and she was sent on her way. There was no point even mentioning the second baby since she never knew she was carrying twins in the first place.
