Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWill Smith grew so enamored of his canine co-star, Abbey, that he tried to adopt her when filming was finished, but the dog's trainer could not be persuaded to give her up.
- GoofsThe central spans of the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridge are destroyed, but the towers and side spans remain standing which is impossible. If you cut the suspension cables, the whole bridge will collapse. The towers are not strong enough to hold the cables - the weight of the side spans will pull them down.
- Quotes
Neville: [talking to Anna about Bob Marley] He had this idea. It was kind of a virologist idea. He believed that you could cure racism and hate... literally cure it, by injecting music and love into people's lives. When he was scheduled to perform at a peace rally, a gunman came to his house and shot him down. Two days later he walked out on that stage and sang. When they asked him why - He said, "The people, who were trying to make this world worse... are not taking a day off. How can I? Light up the darkness."
- Crazy creditsDuring the opening title sequence, a news report is heard. Then the movie begins with the news reporter.
- Alternate versionsThe ending to the Alternate Theatrical Version varies from the original ending. Instead of blowing himself and the hemocytes up with a grenade, Neville discovers that the hemocytes actually came for the female he captured earlier in the movie. He relieves her of the cure and returns her to the hemocytes. Afterwards, the hemocytes leave and let Neville, Anna, and Ethan be. The three then are seen leaving New York heading to Vermont's safe zone with Anna broadcasting a message telling all other survivors that she is with Neville and is heading to the safe zone.
