Trivia: The very futuristic single bladed fan we see in Spooner's apartment is actually a ceiling fan of today. It's called "The Enigma" and is manufactured by Fanimation Inc. (00:02:11)
Continuity mistake: At the start of the film when Del is in the USR building and is looking over Dr Lanning's body, if you notice the shoe changes position from being not far from the body to some distance, also, it changes direction from the first time we see it, we are looking at the heel of the boot or the front, then it is completely side on in the next shot. (00:10:55)
Continuity mistake: At the end, when Dr Calvin, Del, and Sonny are in Robertson's office, when Sonny starts to trick Viki, Calvin has her body side on, then she is completely facing Sonny, then back to side on, then finally back to facing Sonny again. (01:27:55)
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the film when Del goes to USR Robotics, there is a shot that pans up to Dr Lanning's body, if you notice his eyes are either closed or barely open, yet in the following shot they are much further open. (00:10:50)
Continuity mistake: At the very beginning of the film when Del wakes up he reaches over to turn off his alarm clock. The red book, whose cover was partially under another book in a prior shot, has now moved. (00:01:55)
Continuity mistake: Close to the start of the film when Del and his Chief are in the bar, in one shot we see Del drink his bottle with two fingers on the bottle, in the very next shot he is suddenly holding it with only one finger around the neck. (00:32:45)
Trivia: At the US Robotics building, Robertson's office has a subtle easter egg. The window of his office, overlooking the city, was purposefully designed to resemble Robby the Robot from the 1956 movie The Forbidden Planet, specifically his mouth. (01:29:14)
Trivia: Some fans have speculated that Spooner's constant sweet potato pie and heavy sugar use in his coffee may symbolize his cyborg body burning high amounts of energy and needing extra carbs to function. However, this interpretation is not confirmed by the filmmakers and may just be a character quirk rather than intentional foreshadowing. (00:02:28 - 00:13:07)
Trivia: When Spooner is walking the street after leaving his apartment at the beginning of the film, he looks over and sees a bunch of robots loading trash into a garbage truck that is labelled with the brand name Canners. Canner is a derogatory term for robots in this universe that Spooner even called one at his front door just moments before this scene. And here we see it is also a brand name of trash service. (00:03:55)
Continuity mistake: During the car chase the copilot seat's glass swaps between being opaque to transparent.
Answer: Although not clearly explained, Spooner lost his left arm and lung during the accident.
