Continuity mistake: Right before the Demolition Robot starts tearing through the house, Spooner is talking to the cat, and in the close up shots of the cat it is sitting down, but in the shots of Spooner with the cat, it is standing up.

Plot summary
Directed by: Alex Proyas
Starring: Will Smith, James Cromwell, Bruce Greenwood, Alan Tudyk, Bridget Moynahan
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: Somehow, 'I told you so' just doesn't quite say it.
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.
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?
