    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The script took nine years to complete.
    • Goofs
      The Native Americans shown in ancient Manhattan are Plains Indians not native to New York. Also, they are riding horses which are not native to the New World, but introduced by Europeans. However, during her journey, Lucy moves not only through time, but also keeps changing location (when meeting ancient Lucy, she is arguably in Ethiopia). So it is very possible that she encounters those American natives somewhere in the western plains, and at a time when horses had already been introduced to the continent.

    Interesting flick
    Scarlett Johansson in a Asian country should be a genre on its own.

    FAQ7

    • Was the drug gang Korean, Chinese, Japanese, or what?
    • What happened to the source of drug (who gave it to Richard in the first place) and why didn't Lucy track that?
    • Why isn't the briefcase handcuffed to Richard at the beginning?
