Continuity mistake: When 9 created the "torch" from a light bulb, it needed to be turned to work. However, when 3 and 4 investigate the bulb one of them simply puts it in and it starts glowing without being screwed.

9 is the Sci-fi/Adventure story about a group of small Stitchpunk/ragdolls that are awakened and face danger in a post-apocalyptic nightmare world where a mechanical Brain creates various monsters. 9 is the last ragdoll to be made, and with the others he must save "life." A good, very strange movie with good characters, plot, SFX and a compelling, frightening future.

1: Sometimes one must be sacrificed for the good of many.
Trivia: The Chancellor mentioned by the scientist and shown in the old archive footage appears to be a reference to Adolf Hitler, the fascist dictator of Germany from 1933 through 1945. Hitler held the title of Chancellor of Germany, until he gave himself the new title of Fuhrer. When standing in the car in what appears to be a parade, The Chancellor lifts his hand in a motion similar to that of The Hitler/Nazi Salute. The flags and banners shown on the wall when The Chancellor announces the creation of The Machine are similar to the Swastika Flag of the Nazi Party. Finally, when the Chancellor takes The Machine away from The Scientist, the soldiers who take The Scientist away resemble SS Officers (Hitler's Secret Police Force) in uniform and actions.
Question: Why were the dolls sent out after the scientist made them? Why didn't they stay with the scientist so he could explain everything?

Answer: They were sent out into the world to create a new world for themselves. Every time the scientist created a doll, he transferred part of his soul into the doll bringing it to life but leaving him weaker. After creating 9 and transferring the piece of his soul into 9, he died so they would never have found out what they were created for.
