Visible crew/equipment: When David drinks from the empty glass, two huge lighting screens get reflected.
A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Steven Spielberg
Starring: Jude Law, William Hurt, Haley Joel Osment
Revealing mistake: When the robots start to scavange the pile of robot rubble the moon balloon comes over. One of the robots shouts, " Moon on the rise!". If you look carefully you can actually see the actors' real bottom lip behind a metal robot jaw that isn't meant to have any flesh or skin. (00:58:15)
Trivia: In Philip K. Dick's short story "Type II" which became the movie Screamers, the Type III robot was a small boy named David, carrying a Teddy.
Question: What is the significance of the seven word code used to activate David?
Answer: Spielberg is Jewish, the seven word code relates to the Jewish legends of the Gollum, whereby reciting an enchantment can bring these dolls to life.
Answer: I think the significance is that there is no significance. David's manufacturers programmed him with these specific words because they are indeed very random. The chance of someone speaking these exact words, in that exact order, for any reason other than the intended purpose would never happen. Therefore, there would be no "accidental" programming.
