    • Trivia
      Part way through production, Rutger Hauer completely discarded the script and refused to do any scenes from it. The majority of his scenes were improvised by him. Later, Executive Producer, Writer, and Director Roger Avary was forced to re-write the remaining script to match up with Rutger's footage.
    • Quotes

      Lazarus: Where are my sexual organs?

      Doctor Rue Wakeman: You have none.

    • Crazy credits
      After the credits end, we can see Dr. English stitching someone, but we can't see who it is.

    4/10
    The ultimate act of recycling just woke up.
    A very, very stylized, starkly minimalistic, risky vision of the idea of life without birth, a la Frankenstein, involving a military funded operation to build the perfect soldier (Wil Wheaton) with the use of body parts from eighty-eight individuals. The "Stitch Project" initially appears to be a success until the creation begins to remember those who he was and those who he loved. A more "thinking/talking" than "doing/action" piece (until the last few scenes). Intriguing and weird at the same time. Definitely won't be everyone's cup of tea.

    Ron Perlman has a small role, told in flashback, of a doctor who was initially involved in the creation process and ends up becoming literally a part of it after he is killed trying to stop the military from subverting his work. He has some beautifully sweet romantic moments with love interest and fellow Stitch Project doctor Nia Peeples.

    Favorite line(s): "Without choice you can be alive but you wouldn't be living." "Music is like poetry or fiction only put to sound."

    Favorite line spoken by Ron Perlman (and Wil Wheaton): "If you believe it in your heart than follow it otherwise don't be so eager to concur with the opinions of others."

    Due to its almost severe style, I would suggest renting before buying.
