Revealing mistake: Just before entering Robertson's office after climbing the stairs, Spooner is behind Sonny with a flashlight. The light shines on Sonny's back and the door, but Sonny does not cast a shadow.
I, Robot (2004)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Alex Proyas
Starring: Will Smith, James Cromwell, Bruce Greenwood, Alan Tudyk, Bridget Moynahan
V.I.K.I. was the reason all the NS-5's were starting to rebel. This is due to the inevitable evolution of V.I.K.I.'s thinking arising from the 3 laws. V.I.K.I. claimed that humans were destroying themselves through war, pollution etc., and thus needed robots to protect them. Hence, some people needed to be killed in order to save the masses. All robots were infected with this logic and no longer obeyed the 3 laws, with the exception of Sonny, who was actually made to kill V.I.K.I., as he realises his denser forearm was made to withstand metal-eroding waves, surrounding metal tubes containing nanites, a substance that, when infected into V.I.K.I.'s system, could shut her down entirely. Sonny saves Dr. Calvin while Det. Spooner injects the nanites into V.I.K.I. All the NS-5's go back to normal and are taken to the storage facility at Lake Michigan. Sonny goes there, either to join them, free them, or be their leader.

Sonny: Can you?
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?
