Trivia
The intro to the film gives us a history of breakthroughs in cloning tech. There is an entry on the cloning of a sheep, which is credited to "Two pioneering scientists Drs. Lerrad Yarg and Phillip Slanigan, both of the Rosaritio Institute." In real life, the two pioneering scientists were Keith Campbell and Ian Wilmut, of the Roslin Institute in Scotland. The year was 1996, not 1997. The name of the sheep, 'Dolly', is correct. Dolly lived until 2003, having been euthanized due to lung disease and severe arthritis, which were said to be unrelated to the cloning process.

Goofs
When Adam lands his whisper craft on the roof of the building, a security guard comes out to stop him. Adam provides his clearance to be there by presenting him with the contract he signed earlier in the movie. When the guard looks at it, you can clearly see that none of the lines are filled out.

Quotes
Adam Gibson: [1:33:22] If you really believe that then you should clone yourself while you're still alive.
Drucker: Why is that? So I can understand your unique perspective?
Adam Gibson: No. So you can go fuck yourself!

Crazy credits
On the Region 1 DVD release, in "The Future Is Coming" making-of featurette, a member of the production crew (Nancy Tate) is credited as a "Cloned Consultant".

Alternate versions
On the Region 6 China DVD by Excel Media, the flirting scene is cut.

Interesting Concept Gets Better With Age

What a surprise! Must have missed this or it bombed at the box office. However watching this 18 year old movie (made in 2000), it seems to have stood the test of time. Much of the set designs, costumes and even self driving Chevy's and Drone style Helicopters! Super forward thinking concepts. It felt up to date and still relevant. Fun surprise of a flick. It has ages well like a good wine. 8 stars from me, kept our rapt attention. Well balanced and believeable sci fi, great sets, good soundtrack and lots of fun....WITHOUT ZOMBIES! LOL
