Continuity mistake: At the start, Robert Neville drives into some yellow poles, only to drive into them again in the following shot.
I Am Legend (2007)
Directed by: Francis Lawrence
Starring: Will Smith, Alice Braga, Salli Richardson-Whitfield, Charlie Tahan
Revealing mistake: When the taxi goes over the edge to capture Dr. Neville, you can see that the underbody of the car as it goes over is a flat painted surface and not the underside of what should be there (i.e., muffler, gas tank, etc.).
Factual error: The grenade Robert Neville uses at the end of the movie has a blue and brown colored lever. This feature is only used on the M69 practice grenade and not the real M67. The lethal grenade lever is completely green.
Trivia: Smith tries to explain to the woman who Bob Marley is by singing a part of the song "I Shot the Sheriff." He also sang this part of the song (with a similar voice imitation) in his role as Will in one of the episodes from the series "Fresh Prince of Bel Air".
Trivia: The Brooklyn Bridge scene cost 5 million to make, the most expensive scene ever filmed in New York at the time.
Trivia: This film held the record for best opening weekend for a film released in America in December, until the release of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey and later the release of Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens.
Neville: God didn't do this. We did!
Neville: Nothin' happened the way it was supposed to happen.
Neville: What the hell are you doing out here, Fred? Fred, if you're real, you better tell me right now!
Question: Did just New York get contaminated or did the rest of the world get infected?
Answer: During the evacuation, it seems that only Manhattan is infected, or if there are infections elsewhere, it is not known by the government yet. Sometime in January 2010, things get worse if you follow the posters in the movie.
Question: I might have missed it, but in the scene where Neville is watching his wife and daughter evacuate New York, what exactly caused the other helicopter to spin out of control and crash into Neville's family's helicopter? Was it the fighters bombing the bridge, or the people hanging onto the out-of-control helicopter?
Answer: I thought people jumped on another helicopter causing it to spin out of control, and that one crashed into their helicopter.
Answer: It was the people hanging onto the helicopter (combined with the already hazardous conditions).
No it was because zombies got on it and killed the pilot.
Answer: I do not believe the people hanging on the helicopter were dark seekers. It's still early on in the outbreak and the whole area is lit up well. These are likely people panicking due to the exploding bridges and general chaos. This caused the pilot to panic and lose control when people potentially infected with KV jumped onto the helicopter.
Question: The question is if all the bridges and tunnels to Manhattan are destroyed, how does one drive from New York to The Colony in Vermont? How do Anna and Ethan drive to Manhattan to meet Robert Neville in the first place?
