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.

It is the year 2035, in a world where robots are now common assistants for their human owners. 'Robophobic' police Detective Del Spooner played by Will Smith (Hitch) investigates the murder of Dr. Alfred Lanning (James Cromwell) designer of the robots at U.S Robotics based in Chicago. Robot Sonny, (Alan Tudyk) is found 'hiding' at the scene of the crime where Lanning was murdered. Spooner takes this action into account and suggests Sonny killed Lanning. But surely a robot can't violate the three laws of robotics...

Detective Spooner: Can a robot write a symphony? Can a robot turn a canvas into a beautiful painting?
Sonny: Can you?
Trivia: Often times when a movie is distributed the name of the movie on the actual can is changed or altered to prevent piracy. The name on this movie was "Hal," a reference to "2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968).
Question: After Spooner explains how much of his body is robotic, the woman asks what it was like when he went back to work. He starts to explain, then starts describing the accident with the truck and the girl. I'm a bit confused. Was this where his arm and lung were damaged, or did this happen after he received his bionic appendage?
Answer: Although not clearly explained, Spooner lost his left arm and lung during the accident.
