Corrected entry: When Spooner wakes up he turns on his CD player and begins playing a song. He is in his living room one second then in his shower the next. The song is still playing and hasn't changed. There is no way that Spooner could have gone from his living room to his shower in a split second.
Corrected entry: Near the beginning, Spooner crosses the street to try to avoid talking to his young friend. In the background is a Sushi Express restaurant. They then continue walking down the other side of the street, but at the end of their conversation Spooner is standing in front of the same restaurant. They've moved at most fifty yards or so, not enough to find another location.
Correction: There are places in the US where you can find a Starbucks across the street from a Starbucks, so this is plausable for the future.
Corrected entry: When Det. Spooner is in his car, and the NS5s attack him, at first only one jumps at him. When it becomes clear it is trying to kill Spooner, shouldn't the other robots intervene? The first law states that they may not allow him to come to harm through inaction.
Correction: When the first one attacks, all of the NS5s are either inactive or under VIKI's control as evidenced by the red light in their chests, who would prevent them from helping Spooner. VIKI doesn't attack with all the robots immediately because she is trying to minimize damage that could lead to investigation and potential loss of other human lives besides Spooner's.
Corrected entry: You might notice that Detective Spooner almost never uses his left hand, even for tasks for which two hands would be better. Only when he really needs to does he use his left because his left arm was replaced with a robotic hand, which probably doesn't work as well as his right hand.
Correction: Actually, his left arm, being robotic, would work as well as, if not better than, a human arm, but Det. is so "Robophobic" he will go out of his way to avoid using it. He hates it being a part of him, and would rather go though extra trouble than accept robots/robot technology as good and useful.
Corrected entry: In the bar, the lieutenant refers to Del as "Will," as in Will Smith, the actor who played the character.
Correction: He begins are few of his sentences with "Well .....". It sounds like he's saying "Will" but he is not.
Corrected entry: On top of the USR Main brain, Del loses his gun. It falls few feet down and hangs from the gun belt. As it's fastened from both sides, it's quite impossible that it would hang like that.
Correction: You need to view this scene in slow-motion. The strap of the gun wraps around the (support) wire and then hooks onto the magazine of the gun. This holds the gun in place.
Corrected entry: Doesn't any one in the future wear seatbelts? Sure, the autopilot is fine, but the manual drive isn't at all safe, seeing as they are driving at least 3 times as fast as today.
Correction: They only really show Spooner in a car and it may be his personal preference not to wear a seatbelt. I know a few people today that don't wear them even though it is the law.
Corrected entry: If the gasoline-fed motorcycle was so unique, then what exploded in the USR trucks in the tunnel scene? The complete lack of traffic in the place also seems surprising.
Correction: It is a futuristic car, there is no way for us to know what caused the explosion. It may have been an electrical malfunction.
Corrected entry: In the final fight scene, Del fires both his weapons almost continuously. He did not ever change a clip.
Correction: He is firing futuristic weapons. There is no way to tell how many bullets they hold.
Corrected entry: It's said that Sonny was the only emotion-capable robot. However, in the final scene on the Michigan Lake all the robots stare at him as if he was something unusual, not just another plain NS-5.
Correction: That's the entire point of it. He was showing them that they didn't have to adhere to the rules set before them and that they could actually be free.
Corrected entry: In the scene when Sonny is hiding among the 1.000 NS-5s they are standing in a rectangular formation, presumably 25x40 or 20x50. He would be visible on the spot or he would have to alter the formation to form a 1.001 rectangle which would be 13x77. There were certainly more than 13 robots in a row.
Correction: The most likely solution is that Sonny ordered one of them to "stand out of the formation" and then stood in its place.
Corrected entry: When Spooner is interrogating Sonny in the police precinct, Sonny slams his fists onto the table & leaves very big indents, they even make a point to show this. For the rest of the scene the indents are not there.
Corrected entry: In the scene where Sonny is to be "killed", the professor says that it is done by microscopic robots, nanites. However, you can see them swimming in the fluid. How can this be if they are microscopic?
Correction: The things we see may be swarms of the robots swimming together to make something large enough to be seen. They would probably be programmed to do this so that someone could tell at a glance if the cylinder contains the nanites, and that they are in fact active.
Corrected entry: Susan Calvin loses her grip on the walkway that the robots are pulling apart and nearly falls to her death. Sonny jumps down after her to save her and catches up to her. This is impossible as objects fall at the same speed regardless of their weight.
Correction: That's only true in a vacuum, which they're obviously not in - air resistance is a factor. Plus Sonny kicks himself after her, giving him an extra boost.
Corrected entry: When Spooner is attacked by the robots while driving through the tunnel, a robot crashes through the passenger window and knocks Spooner's gun out of his hand. A few seconds later it shows a robot smashing through the same window again.
Correction: The first robot did not crash through the passenger window, it crashed through the window on top of the car. The passenger window was smashed by the second robot.
Corrected entry: The first time Spooner goes inside the scientist's lab, he finds that Sonny is inside some kind of box. But it cannot be, because the box is too small for the robot.
Corrected entry: When Spooner is reviewing the press conference, Lanning says the robots "will have hopes, will have dreams." As he is rewinding multiple times, we hear 'will have hopes', then following a rewind we hear 'will have dreams.' This would not be possible as says 'hopes' before 'dreams' in the full speech, not the other way around.
Correction: You can clearly see on the computer screen that he pushes both the rewind and forward icons in turn so the words we hear are in the correct order.
Corrected entry: In the scene where Det. Spooner is in the office of his scientist friend, you can hear him walking around with shoes that have hard heels. It was earlier established that Det. Spooner is wearing a pair of sneakers, Converse Chuck Taylor Hi-Tops 2004 vintage no less. He shouldn't have any discernable footsteps other than a slight squeaking.
Correction: Actually, I own a pair of those sneakers, and on some surfaces they make noises similiar to shoes with hard heels. It also depends on the way you walk in them.
Corrected entry: Towards the end of the tunnel chase scene Spooner slams his car into a concrete barrier, and when he gets out of the wrecked car his mouth is bleeding quite heavily, so much that he needs to spit out blood. He then has a fight with the robot one-on-one. But when the fight is over there is no trace of any blood in or around his mouth for the duration of the scene.
Correction: It's likely that the inside of his mouth was bleeding. If the inside of his mouth was bleeding, you wouldn't see it unless he made a point of spitting it out.
Corrected entry: Why did Lanning have to order Sonny to kill him? He could have simply made him promise to break the window and then shut down.
Correction: Sonny to kill him was a necessary 'bread crumb'. Without a robot's direct involvement, it would just appear to be a suicide with no reason. Make a robot a confusing part of it and the trail gets much easier to follow.
Correction: He could have the same song on "repeat" mode. So while he is in the shower the same song can still be playing, because it's been repeated "X" amount of times.
