Question: When Inspector Gadget is lying on the table with the Claw watching over him, Gadget says that Claw will never get away with this. Then Claw says, "I think someone's been watching too many Saturday morning cartoons", and then everyone looks up at the camera confused/surprised. Can any one explain what the joke is here?
Inspector Gadget (1999)
1 question
Directed by: David Kellogg
Starring: Matthew Broderick, Rupert Everett, Michelle Trachtenberg, Joely Fisher
Continuity mistake: When Inspector Gadget was in the city dump, you can clearly see all his gadgets inside his body. But when he recovers and rises, he is fully clothed - he could not possibly put on his suit that fast.
Penny: Having another hero cop dream, Uncle John?
Officer John Brown: Every time I close my eyes.
Trivia: In the scene where Gadgetmobile first meets Inspector Gadget, he says something about him making moves on Dr. Bradford. Inspector Gadget says his only interest in her is professional. He says the same thing about the female Inspector in Inspector Gadget 2.
Answer: The joke is that he is referring to the "Inspector Gadget" cartoon, in which the Claw never got away with any of his schemes.
