    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      In the opening scene where they go through the the progression of robotic design, the robot shown as R1 is a prop left over from the 1956 movie "Earth vs the flying saucers". It's the same outfit worn by the invading aliens who piloted the flying saucers.
    • Goofs
      When the doctor is testing the robotic arm, the space directly under the table is covered (presumably by a box or a panel with a hidden actor). However as the robotic arm is removed from the table, the space beneath it becomes empty and transparent.

    The most talkative movie I've ever seen.
    Creation of the humanoids is an intelligent look into the world of automation. Apparently, after the earth suffers an atomic war, mankind struggles to rebuild itself with the assistance of robots. But the robots seem to be getting smarter than their creators. Instead of trying to take over, they use their intelligence to make duplicates of man and try to save the human race from dying off due to atomic contamination. If you like adventure, this is not the movie for you.If you like a lot of talk, this is the movie for you. I had to see the movie at least 6 times before I could understand it. There isn't any well known actors but that is understandable when it is a low budget flick. By cutting out action scenes, they were able to produce a film for perhaps as little as $50,000 dollars. If you have this movie, enjoy!
