Trivia:

When the Virtual Psychiatrist comes up in the police station, he asks Gibson about a turtle in the desert and about his mother, references to Leon's Voigt-Kampff test in Blade Runner (1982).

Goofs:

Incorrectly regarded as goofs: The memory recorder displays only visions, not thoughts. If it displayed thoughts, the villains would have known that the other Gibson was behind the clone in the helicopter/jet other than by the reflection in the glass. However, this doesn't necessarily mean the thoughts weren't recorded, only that they either chose not to display them or couldn't come up with a good way to display them.

Quotes:

Adam Gibson: You read my mind?
Drucker: Just the highlights.

A movie that deserved a more mainstream release

This was a pretty big flop when it came out, it's actually better than half of Arnie's movies, the storyline is very unique & has some credited actors, such as Michael Rapaport as his best friend, the movie is a little harder to understand than most Arnie movie's but makes perfect sense at the end, this is not a great movie & its certainly not a bad movie. There are a few similarities to "Total Recall", both sorta in the near future but at the same time they cover different issues, but the subject of Human Cloning is probably a little more realistic & actually is becoming an issue in the world now. If your an Arnie fan you should like this, even if your not a fan of the Big man you probably would appreciate this. A fairly decent movie that deserves a second viewing. 7 / 10
