Trivia
Dr. Claw's face is never shown throughout the entire course of the film. This is a reference to a running gag from the original Inspector Gadget (1983) TV series. Only his eye is shown for a spilt second.

Goofs
When Dr. Claw uses his weapon, time freezes all over the city of Riverton, showing several actions stopping in mid-motion and remaining in position. This means that the electronic devices in the building of the federal reserve - the gate, retina scan and the vault door - should be inoperable and impossible to function.

Quotes
Claw: Care for a smoke, Gadget?
[presses a button on his remote-control device, opening four smoke-ports on the truck's rear bumper and sending thick clouds of bright pink smoke billowing out]

Crazy credits
There are no opening credits, save the title.

Alternate versions
The original video rating was PG, though it was re-rated to G after a few cuts were made to violence.

Much Better than the First!!!

I used to watch the Inspector Gadget Television show all of the time, and so going into the first movie I was hoping it would retain certain elements of the show. However, that first movie changed so much (the most notable being the odd reworking of Dr. Claw) that it didn't feel like Inspector Gadget anymore.

This movie, on the other hand, is excellent, because it discards trying to be in continuity with the first in order to be much more like the show. The character dynamic of the show (including the faceless villian) has been restored. Now, Gadget is once again a bumbling idiot who is saved only by those around him. At first I thought the inclusion of G2 would hamper the film, but her part is well integrated and this is still Gadget's movie. It's very funny, silly, and stylized, and probably good enough to have been in theaters. Forget about the continuity errors in relation to the first film, and enjoy live-action Gadget the way it should have been in the first place.

**** out of ****
