    • Trivia
      Adam Bryant, who appears as the android head, has been Robin Williams' stand-in for more than a dozen films.
    • Goofs
      The final scene in which the nurse robot stops life support systems on request is invalid; the First Law of Robotics would have prevented it. No amount of begging would result in a positronic robot assisting in suicide or euthanasia. In fact, according to Asimov's stories, even witnessing a human being hurt might destroy a robot's positronic brain and the movie acknowledges the Three Laws of Robotics.
    • Quotes

      Andrew Martin: May one, sir? Is now a good time?

      'Ma'am' Martin: What? A good time for what?

      Andrew Martin: Last night, Sir taught...

      Sir: No, no, no, don't blame me Andrew. Just... go ahead.

      Andrew Martin: Thank you sir

      Andrew Martin: [Very fast] Two cannibals were eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "Does this taste funny to you?" How do you make a hanky dance? Put a little boogie in it! What is a brunette between two blondes? A translator! Do you know why blind people don't like to sky-dive? It scares their dogs! A man with demensia is driving on the freeway. His wife calls him on the mobile phone and says "Sweetheart, I heard there's someone driving the wrong way on the freeway." He says "One? There's hundreds!" What's silent and smells like worms? Bird farts. It must have been an engineer who designed the human body. Who else would put a waste processing plant next to a recreation area? A woman goes into a doctor's office, and the doctor says "Do you mind if I numb your breasts?" "Not at all." *makes 'motor-boating' noise. "Num-num-num-num."

      Andrew Martin: [Family chuckles] One did it sir!

      Sir: Andrew, it was fine, but we might want to talk about appropriatness and um, and timing.

      Andrew Martin: It's ten-fifteen sir.

      [Family laughs hysterically]

    • Alternate versions
      For Great Movies (a TV channel here in the UK)have certain lines and particular scenes cut. For example the line where Andrew mentions about breasts is cut along with the scene where he says can you fix this piece of shit,and finally the scene where Rupert and Andrew were talking about sex was shortened. However on Sky Cinema no scenes were harmed at all.

    Some Prose Is Poetry
    For Ray Bradbury the masterwork of perfect poignance is Drink Entire: Against the Madness of Crowds. For Isaac Asimov it is Bicentennial Man. Only Asimov could remake Pinocchio as compelling science fiction. So many have tried to create a sweet and funny story of the machine that would be man, but this is it's perfect telling.

    Only Robin Williams could play the unlikely hero of this story with perfect comedic timing and perfect emotional pitch. Embeth Davidtz as his leading lady matches his skills at every turn, and Sam Neill turns in one his best performances as the man who first recognized the irreplaceable uniqueness of his mistuned android.

    Bicentennial Man is first rate science fiction – without physical conflict, without wars, without new ways to incinerate each other. In the end, it makes you glad to be a messy human. Watching this truly beautiful film is a wonderful way to spend an evening, and a guarantor of better dreams than you've had in many years.
