Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe 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.
- GoofsWhen 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 creditsOn 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 versionsOn the Region 6 China DVD by Excel Media, the flirting scene is cut.

Featured review
"The 6th Day" marks the return of Arnold Schwarzenegger to a role that seems to be second nature to him: action. This time there is an added twist; there is actually a decent plot attached to it.
"The 6th Day" revolves around a man who has been cloned and ends up on the run from a corporation who wants him dead. Arnold is this man who has lost his family, life and taking on the corporation who took it from him. All the while, Arnold is searching within himself to find a way to get his family back.
The 6th Day" boasts a cast that includes Robert Duvall, Michael Rooker, Tony Goldwyn and Sarah Wynters. I knew the second I saw these names flash across the screen I was in for a real treat.
The best thing about "The 6th Day" is the performance of Schwarzenegger because he is not only an action star in this film but a dramatic actor as he combines these two talents to pull off one of his better performances of his career.
Arnold did not make this film a hit by himself, he had a little help from his friends. From Robert Duvall who played the doctor who performed the cloning operations to Michael Rooker, who was one evil henchmen with his menacing attitude and presence "The 6th Day" is one great film to see.
I enjoyed how the plot of film didn't rely solely on the action sequences. Though, the action is fine and dandy; I believe that a film needs more than just action and "The 6th Day" has it.
"The 6th Day" is one of the best Arnold films I've seen including the "Terminator" series. It is filled with action, twists, turns, edge of your seat suspense and drama that will appeal to all movie fans of every age.
