Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which popular film actor stars as Del Spooner (aka 'Spoon'), a down-on-his-luck detective who investigates the murder of a top expert in robotics, in 'I, Robot'?

Answer: Will Smith

Will Smith not only stars in 'I, Robot', he is also an executive producer of the film.

Is it just my silly wonderings, or does every film Will Smith star in make at least 100 million dollars at the box office?

2. The film 'I, Robot' is loosely based on a series of short stories by which luminary of the sci-fi literary field?

Answer: Isaac Asimov

Isaac Asimov's 'I, Robot' stories provide the guidance and inspiration for the script, written by Jeff Vintar and Akiva Goldsman. Asimov's stories include the legendary 'Three Laws of Robotics' that are so important in the film.

3. Which popular director of sci-fi/adventure genre films provides the direction for the film 'I, Robot'?

Answer: Alex Proyas

Alex Proyas is very well known for some of his interesting films of the past, including 'The Crow' and 'Dark City'. 'I, Robot' is the first film directed by Proyas that contains big-budget CGI graphics.

4. Which very popular character actor, associated sometimes with 'Star Trek', played Dr. Alfred Lanning, the founding father of robotics in 'I, Robot'?

Answer: James Cromwell

James Cromwell is a very recognizable character actor from such films as 'The Green Mile', 'L.A. Confidential' and 'Revenge of the Nerds'. He is best known to 'Star Trek' fans as Dr. Zefram Cochrane, inventor of the warp drive engine.

5. What is the surname of the psychiatrist character named Susan and played by the lovely Bridget Moynahan, in 'I, Robot'?

Answer: Calvin

Model slash actress Bridget Moynahan, who you might recognize from movies such as 'Lord of War', 'The Recruit' and 'The Sum of All Fears', plays Dr. Susan Calvin in 'I, Robot'.

Answer: Sonny

Actor Alan Tudyk provides the voice (and the face, digitally speaking) for the robot Sonny. Sonny is accused of murdering Dr. Lanning in the film, but is he really the culprit or not? This is what 'Spoon' must find out for himself.

Answer: V.I.K.I.

V.I.K.I. is a helpful (or is she?) computer database that is employed to assist Spoon and Dr. Calvin in the murder investigation. The voice of V.I.K.I. is provided by actress Fiona Hogan.

8. In which U.S. city (albeit, the 2035 A.D. version) does the entirety of the action in 'I, Robot' take place?

Answer: Chicago

In 'I, Robot', a digitally enhanced 'future' Chicago is featured. Apparently, as a tribute to the 'Windy City', the 'Chicago' font is used on all the police cars in the film.

Answer: Harold Lloyd

Harold Lloyd was a popular actor during the silent era of Hollywood (1910s - 1920s). Lloyd lost several fingers in an accident during the filming of a movie in 1919. This coincides with the Spoon character, who also has lost some body parts (albeit, a lot more than Lloyd), namely his entire left arm, some ribs and a lung.

10. In the film, there are several references to the laws of robotics. How many of these laws are presented to the viewer in the movie 'I, Robot'?

Answer: 3

As per Asimov, there are three laws presented here. In a nutshell, the laws state that robots may never harm human beings and that there are no exceptions to these rules. However, there may be different ways of interpreting these laws, as is made clear during the movie!

I hope you have enjoyed this quiz, thank you for playing.
