    But yes, 'very loosely' would be right. Some of the stuff in the movie was even taken from other, post-'I, Robot' Asimov stories. The only commonality in the movie was the setting, the 'story world' if you like, and a couple of the main characters.
    Give that ignorant peasant another *thwack* for me.

    I heard they were going to do the Caves of Steel,or was that blended into it as well.

    1) I agree it was good

    2) Yes, having followed you (or tried to) up Symonds St to Galbraiths, I can see something just as gripping as that scene being enacted weekly... Perhaps without the homicidal special police/machines though.

    Really? You're kidding me, right? I DISTINCTLY remember thinking "they don't know where it is, ride sedately, ride sedately..." and buttoning off quite a bit from my usual style.

    I *must* be a looney.

    TBH it's been several years since *I* last looked at an Asimov story, so I can't remember which goes where.

    But yes, there was certainly material from post-'I, Robot' work. Couldn't say if any of it was from Caves of Steel, though.

    If you watch it you'll see right away, I think at one stage you can see the wheels which is a big give-away, well that and the MV & F4 logos.

    You might recall that the bit where the F4 was crashed into the building followed a removal from and re-insertion into the Matrix at different places. They re-inserted Trinity (with the F4) just prior to the time she initiated the assault on the building by jumping the bike off the ledge, etc.

    So it was all moot to the storyline whether they used another 996 similar to the one in the motorway chase scene, or something different.

    Pretty sure it was a 998 in the motorway chase scene.

    Yes yes yes, it's all dead obvious that the 998 was used in the motorway chase. I never said the f4 was used there. They only used the f4 in the bit where Trinity attacks the power station. Not sure why they didn't just use another 998.

    Shit what a great movie.
    Definitely using Asimovs ideas
    Was I the only person that shouted NOOOOOO as that sexy motorbike got trashed to save the dumb kid???
    A bit of useless trivia --the car used was especially built by Audi for the movie.
    It was a concept vehicle. with sphrerical wheels.
    I really enjoyed the whole thing except that bike scene
    To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?
