Inspector Gadget

Trivia: I wouldn't want to stay at the hospital that Gadget was staying at. When Penny runs into the room with the man in the body cast, someone on the intercom is saying 'Paging Dr. Howard, Dr. Fine, Dr. Howard. Paging Dr. Howard, Dr. Fine, Dr. Howard.' The Three Stooges were Curly Howard, Larry Fine and Moe Howard.

Trivia: When evil Gadget is doing the shadow, it's actually a mimic of the Lost World, most easily noted by the Japanese salesman being translated I left Tokyo to get away from this. However, in The Lost World it was not translated, and filmmakers thought a line that good should be recognized.

Trivia: In the beginning of the credits, you see Claw's evil henchman in a Minion Recovery group. Many of the other people in his group are former James Bond enemies.

Trivia: When Gadget starts to thumb through the Gadget manual, he stops on the Helicopter Hat. If you look closely, the picture is of the original animated Gadget in Helicopter mode.

Movie Nut

Revealing mistake: At the party where Inspector Gadget lights a cigar for Scolex, he uses his thumb which flips open to reveal a flame. When they cut to the close-up of Scolex getting the cigar lit, you can see that there is a hand holding up a traditional lighter, and not Inspector Gadget's thumb any more.

More quotes from Inspector Gadget

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?

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.
