Corrected entry: When Det. Spooner is in his car, and the NS5s attack him, at first only one jumps at him. When it becomes clear it is trying to kill Spooner, shouldn't the other robots intervene? The first law states that they may not allow him to come to harm through inaction.

Corrected entry: The first time Spooner goes inside the scientist's lab, he finds that Sonny is inside some kind of box. But it cannot be, because the box is too small for the robot.

Corrected entry: When Spooner is telling the scientist about the accident, there is a flashback of it. Spooner tells the robot to save the girl. The robot doesn't listen to him which violates the one of the three laws.
Correction: The Three Laws are ranked according to priority, with higher Laws overruling the lower. Thus, protecting the life of a human is more important than following that human's orders.

Corrected entry: Sonny resists the force field without having protection by special alloying. Sonny's brains were transfered into another body by Susan Calvin in order to save his "life". But this other body does not have the special alloying. This was described as being unique to original Sonny like his brains (Dr. Lanning wanted him probably to access the nano bots). So why could he resist to the force field containing the nano bots which were finally able to kill V.I.K.I.? Note: the robot falling against that field during the fight with Sonny had half of his face missing due to the force field.

Correction: When the first one attacks, all of the NS5s are either inactive or under VIKI's control as evidenced by the red light in their chests, who would prevent them from helping Spooner. VIKI doesn't attack with all the robots immediately because she is trying to minimize damage that could lead to investigation and potential loss of other human lives besides Spooner's.
