Westworld
Movie Quote Quiz

Arrivals Announcer: In trailer: Nothing can go wrong... go wrong... go wrong.

John Blane: There's no way to get hurt in here, just enjoy yourself.

Miss Carrie: Well, you come to the right place. There's plenty of fun here. That's Cindy and Arlette. Arlette's from Paris. Perhaps you gentlemen are taking a liking to 'em?
John Blane: Perhaps.
Miss Carrie: They're real accommodating.
John Blane: They eh, they look it.
Miss Carrie: Why don't you just go on upstairs and we'll reckon accounts later.
John Blane: Sounds good to me.
Peter Martin: John, are those two girls machines?
John Blane: Now, how can you say a thing like that. Come on.

Chief Supervisor: We aren't dealing with ordinary machines here. These are highly complicated pieces of equipment. Almost as complicated as living organisms. In some cases, they have been designed by other computers. We don't know exactly how they work.

Chief Supervisor: Shut down! Shut down immediately.

Plot hole: There's a huge, fatal flaw with the whole concept of having guns that cannot fire on human guests as it detects the body heat. Unfortunately it's a stone cold, 100% certainty that with the amount of gunplay going on in Westworld, virtually every day someone is going to be killed by a ricochet. Ricocheting bullets can and do kill people, and any scientist capable of designing guns like the ones they use in Westworld must know that. They aren't using frangible soft rounds like those used by prison guards - the gunfights are all characterised by the sharp, metallic sounds of ricocheting bullets. It's not a matter of legal liability, or the owners protecting themselves from lawsuits - it's a matter of people not paying to stay in a theme park where the chances of dying or sustaining life-changing injuries are are extremely high. Bad press would kill Westworld (and its sister theme parks) stone cold dead within days of the first bodies being brought out, the bodies of people being killed by ricocheting bullets.

Suggested correction: The park could legally protect themselves from someone being injured by a ricochet. Not so easy when one of their bots directly killed someone.

Trivia: When Yul Brynner chases Richard Benjamin into the android lab, Benjamin douses Brynner with concentrated hydrochloric acid (attempting to blind the killer android), and Brynner's face sizzles, bubbles and starts melting. The acid effect for this shot was achieved in a decidedly low-tech manner: Pulverized Alka Seltzer antacid tablets were mixed with Yul Brynner's facial makeup; Brynner's face was then doused with water, and the Alka Seltzer fizzed away Brynner's makeup as piped-in stage smoke swirled about his head.
