Chappie is a 2015 sci-fi movie by Neill Blomkamp, based on his short film Tetra Vaal, about the world's first artificially-intelligent robot as he grows up in Johannesburg, South Africa. It stars Sharlto Copley, Sigourney Weaver, Dev Patel, Hugh Jackman, and the South African rappers Die Antwoord.Rampant crime in Johannesburg has driven the development of droids by Tetravaal, a Private Military Contractor, to assist human police officers. Deon Wilson is a programmer working for Tetravaal who creates a truly intelligent AI that can learn, think, and feel like a human. He plans to test the AI on a damaged droid chassis, but he is forced to activate it for a gang eager to pay off a debt. Naming him "Chappie", the gangsters raise the childlike AI to help them with a heist.

Poor Communication Kills: A lot of the film's issues could have been prevented if Deon had just told his bosses that the Guard Key was missing. In fact, near the end, he finds evidence that suggests Moore was responsible for the sabotage of the Scout robots and proceeds not to tell anybody (he does threaten to, but it never comes to that).

Plug 'n' Play Technology: Scout parts are designed with modularity in mind. Scout #22 is shown having a new antenna installed onto its head early in the film. Later, Chappie has a new arm from a dummy scout installed after Vincent saws his original arm off. Averted with 22's battery: A direct hit from an RPG fuses it to the chassis, meaning that Chappie cannot be recharged or repaired as it usually would. It requires Chappie be uploaded to an entirely new body to keep him alive.

Mythology Gag
 Chappie / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: Ninja, when about to finally pull his heist, uses Koobus' vest from District 9, complete with the ram skull. Tetravaal was the name of the robot from the original short film - a fictional pitch to sell a cheap, easily-modified, easily-repaired droid in high-crime cities that won't go down as easily as a human. In addition, they're also a big arms company branching out into other purposes, just as MNU did. The MOOSE is based on one of the original concepts for Kruger in Elysium - after being mortally wounded, Kruger would have been transferred to a clunky, but heavily-armed robot. The MOOSE is a modern version, complete with the secondary human arms and the VTOL capability.

Apologetic Attacker: When Chappie attacks the bank van, he hurls one security guard onto the pavement and nails the poor guy with a pair of shurikens. However Chappie honestly thought that he was doing a good thing and the security would be falling asleep and grateful. Instead he's horrified to learn the guard is twitching in agony and terrified that Chappie is going to finish him off. So Chappie ends up apologizing profusely for what he had done.

The Unintelligible: On a meta level, it seems like the studio execs felt this way about Hippo (at least in the U.S. release), as he is the only character who receives subtitles despite speaking English throughout. Perhaps they thought that U.S. audiences wouldn't understand Hippo's unfamiliar dialect; it doesn't help that all of his lines are a) growled/bellowed in a guttural tone and b) there is always gunfire/explosions/loud music in the background.

TrailersAlwaysLie
 Chappie / int_337a0f4
comment
Trailers Always Lie: The first trailer makes it look like Moore (Hugh Jackman) plays a crucial inspiration to Chappie's development. In the movie, he's the Big Bad and the two only meet twice, and both times with aggressive hostility to Chappie. It also suggested that Chappie would be crucial to saving humanity. The second trailer makes it appear that the RSAP was shutting down the Scout units because they were malfunctioning; when in reality, Moore was shutting them down during a riot to give the MOOSE a reason to be deployed. The third trailer implies Moore is some sort of Reasonable Authority Figure worried about AI going out of control. In the movie, he's a power-tripping whacko nut who does have reservations about AI, but partially because the AI are crowding out his prototype military vehicle. The trailers all imply some sort of robot uprising that Chappie must stop. Moore fears this, but he really just shuts them all off. The film's original ending, however, does imply that Chappie himself may be starting a robot uprising.

Keystone Army: Double subverted. Yolandi and Ninja initially wanted Deon to do this for them, only find out that there wasn't a universal shutoff switch for the scouts in the first place. Moore later creates a file which shuts them down by erasing their core programming, but he can only do this because he has the guard key which allows access to their programming and is running his code from the core network.

Bittersweet Ending
 Chappie / int_40cc0c7e
comment
Bittersweet Ending: On one hand, the droids have been shut off permanently, Amerika and Yolandi are killed, crime is still pretty rampant in Joburg and Chappie is seen as a monster by the public. On the other, Vincent's reign of madness has been stopped, Hippo is dead, Deon is saved by Chappie putting him in a robot body. If the opening news montage is any indication, Chappie will eventually be accepted by the public in some way after the events of the film have died down. Arguable whether Yolandi's case can be seen as this; whereas Deon's mind was transferred, Yolandi's was copied before her death, which means that the original Yolandi is not only gone for good, but not the same as the replica built at the end, so she will have to be brought up to speed on all the events that happened after her copying- not to mention her having to come to terms with her new existence.

 Chappie / int_4612ec70
comment
No Transhumanism Allowed: Averted on multiple levels. The technology that allows Yolandi and Deon to upload into robot bodies isn't widespread because it was literally just invented by Chappie in pursuit of a solution to his own looming mortality. Neither Yolandi, nor Deon's uploading of their consciousnesses onto robot bodies is treated as abhorrent. To the contrary, Chappie treats uploading in very optimistic terms, with numerous references to immortality. The ending of the film implies that Chappie's vision will be proven correct.

The reason he wanted to do the heist in the first place was to pay off Hippo so he would leave his "family" alone. Amerika isn't so bad either. He warms up to Chappie pretty quickly, and while he doesn't outright protest Ninja's brutal tactic of leaving Chappie to fend for himself against the merciless youths, he does seem pretty grim about it, and when Chappie returns a bit worse for wear, he readily assists in repairing his sawed off arm.

Humans Are the Real Monsters: In the beginning of the film, Moore displays his open distrust of allowing robots with even limited AI to be used in combat. However, in a bit of irony, Chappie, a true AI, ends up being mostly a naive Technical Pacifist while Moore, while behind the controls of the MOOSE, gleefully guns down gangsters without a second thought.

All of the Other Reindeer: Not everyone takes kindly to Chappie. A gang of kids and teens throw rocks and even a Molotov cocktail at him. It doesn't help that he's an innocent A.I. trapped in the shell of most of the Johannesburg crime world's biggest enemy.

We Are as Mayflies: Deon reveals that the battery inside Droid 22 was fused into the chassis after taking a direct hit from an RPG. The battery could not be replaced. Chappie is "born" with about a week's worth of energy left, which drives much of the plot for the latter half of the film. Chappie gets around this by uploading to another, more intact Scout in the climax.

Badass Normal: Averted for Moore in opposition to Blomkamp's previous villains like Kruger or Colonel Koobus. Despite his military background, he never directly threatens Chappie or anyone else without a major advantage like a weapon, henchmen or the MOOSE, and the one confrontation is a one-sided Curb-Stomp Battle against his favour. The climax of the film makes it clear that for all his supposed "military training" and bluster he's just a loser on a power trip.

Heroic Sacrifice: Subverted: Ninja intended on distracting the MOOSE so Yolandi and Chappie can get away. He's even taunting him the whole time. Yolandi jumps out of the van to grab the grenade launcher and uses it to save Ninja, but she gets shot up in response before Chappie can jump in front of her. She plays it straight, however, as her attempt to save Ninja put Chappie in the area to find the detonator for the grenade he'd attached to the MOOSE earlier, allowing Chappie to finish it off and save Ninja.

Swiss-Cheese Security
 Chappie / int_72c07237
comment
Swiss-Cheese Security: Both Deon and Moore can enter and leave the Tetravaal compound whenever they wish taking along with them robots, trucks and even heavy military equipment without a guard so much blinking an eye at company theft and sabotage with the place seeming abandoned most of the time despite being a key defense contractor. Most egregious of all is how they handle the security for the Guard Key, which prevents outside sources from tampering with the Scouts' programming. It's stored in a secure vault that requires a fingerprint scan to access. However, once Deon checks it out, he proceeds to lose it when he forgets to take it out of Chappie. Nobody except Moore seems to notice the Key is missing, and Deon only receives a phone call from security a few days later politely asking him to return it, with no further consequences shown. Later after the Scouts have a catastrophic failure due to the loss of the Guard Key, evidently no one really investigated the computers or security cameras to see who caused it. The MOOSE can be operated by a single person. The obvious problem being that it's a military grade weapons system that's capable of destroying buildings, but there seem to be no fail-safes or backups to keep someone from freely abusing it. Moore actually wants to install somewhat of a security measure. It's refused by the management because it's too expensive and the pilot should know what to do anyway.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Deon starts the whole affair after being turned down for his AI project — he steals components for a robot, plus the all-important Guard Key which can be used to reprogram every police robot in the city, and ends up placing them in the hands of gangsters. Moore definitely isn't heroic, but his plan to get the MOOSE, his Awesome, but Impractical brainchild, in action ends up having unintended consequences for the robotics industry in South Africa, as well as for the company that employed him.

Deconstruction: Of a military-grade Real Robot and More Dakka. When Moore tries to pitch the MOOSE to the South African Police, they laugh at it. They mostly deal with gang-bangers and crooks with beaten-up small arms, they have no need for a walking tank that can shoot down aircraft and devastate entire city blocks. Smaller, lighter humanoid robots that can pick up and use human weapons and subdue 90% of the criminals they encounter are the much better buy.

What Measure Is a Non-Human?
 Chappie / int_9c45b5a2
comment
What Measure Is a Non-Human?: The film is essentially an exploration of the idea. Chappie is, as far as science understands, sentient and equally intelligent to humans, but struggles to connect with others expressly because he's different.

Super Toughness: Chappie can withstand far more damage than a human, surviving rifle bullets, shotgun shells, and even grenades. The sturdy construction of the Tetravaal-RSAP Police Droid enables them to take an RPG warhead to the chest. Mind you, the droid isn't getting back up after that, but it's still intact and even reusable with the right repairs.

Super Strength: As a result of being robots, Chappie and other Tetravaal-RSAP Police Droids are capable of wielding anti-material weaponry and handling the recoil as if they were wielding a regular carbine. It also allows for them to jump great distances and kick down doors with ease. They're also capable of kicking grown men through walls, throwing them into ceilings, and snapping their bones with minimal effort.

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Moore's program to shut down all the Scout robots in the city in order to usher the MOOSE into action involved installing a file in the Scout robots that erased their core programming. This means that when Chappie and Deon need new bodies (due to the former losing battery power and unable to charge due to damage and the latter being mortally wounded) there are plenty to choose from.

Loophole Abuse: Deon teaches Chappie what a promise is, and makes him promise to never use a gun to commit a crime or kill people. Ninja gets around this dilemma by showing Chappie that knives and shurikens can be used to put people to sleep. Deon makes Chappie promise not to commit crimes. Ninja tricks Chappie into stealing cars for him by telling him that the original owners stole the cars from him and he just wants to get them back.

Coming of Age Story: In a way, it is. The film is all about how children are affected by the environment they're raised in and what kind of influences they're exposed to. Chappie himself basically goes from birth to adulthood in the span of a week, due to his ability to process information quickly and his power supply going down awfully fast.

Too Dumb to Live: For all his computer genius, Deon clearly has issues with common sense. Maybe stealing the programming key and droid body could be forgiven (he's that fanatical about his AI project), but after repeatedly getting his ass pummeled by a pissed-off Ninja, Deon keeps coming back to the gangsters' hideout. He even buys a small revolver to go up against three heavily armed hardened criminals. If it wasn't for his massive Plot Armor (and Yolandi protecting him and providing a voice of reason), he'd been dead before half the movie was over.

Corrupt the Cutie
 Chappie / int_b5c56995

Corrupt the Cutie: Chappie has no desire to hurt people or commit crimes, but Ninja and Amerika influence his development. He begins to behave and talk more "gangster", and Amerika gets around his aversion to guns by telling him that people go to sleep when they are stabbed. They get him to steal cars by telling him that he is stealing them back from thieves. Ultimately averted because Chappie never willingly does anything he believes to be wrong. He apologizes to the cop he injures with shurikens, and he lets Moore live despite him having killed Yolandi (he still beat him within an inch of his life, though).

Improbable Aiming Skills: Watch that pistol training scene again.

It's terrible form, and he shouldn't be able to do more than hit the broad side of the barn... but instead, he hits those calls shots with perfect accuracy.

Shout-Out
 Chappie / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Chappie is visually inspired by Briarios from Apple Seed. Blomkamp makes no effort to deny this. Chappie is seen watching He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (1983), and imitating He-Man drawing his sword. Moore shouting "Run, Forrest!" to a fleeing Chappie. The MOOSE is obviously based on the ED-209 from RoboCop. The original voices of the Scouts sound suspiciously like RoboCop himself There are lot of props and graffiti around Ninja and Yolandi's hideout that relate to various Die Antwoord songs - Ninja's gold M4 showed up in the video for "Ugly Boy". Yolandi's mention of fancy wheelchairs and the "FOK OFF" license plate specifically refers to their short film, Umshini Wam and the pair's search for electronic wheelchairs.

Upbringing Makes the Hero: Chappie's early plot in his life, struggling to understand both morals and the way of living as a sentient robot is obviously crucial, although it was inverted by Ninja, forcing him to go in a life of crime. In the end, both Deon and Yolandi gave Chappie the needed understanding of human life and how to preserve it, completely playing the trope straight.

Square-Cube Law
 Chappie / int_d4055b8b
comment
Square-Cube Law: Invoked, as the Scout models are capable of moving and responding faster and are at human height as opposed to the truck-sized MOOSE model, making it ideal for close-quarters and law enforcement. This comes into play in the finale, where Chappie is able to outmaneuver the MOOSE and last longer because he can actually dodge attacks rather than relying on armor. Chappie is also technically tougher, as it takes less overall armor to effectively protect him, while the giant, bipedal MOOSE is lightly armored for its size. Chappie's body is a police robot that took an RPG to the chest and only needed minimal repairs to get working again. The MOOSE takes severe damage from a grenade launcher and a grenade stuck to it by a knife ultimately blows it apart.

Revised Ending

comment
Revised Ending: The film's original ending, included in the home video release, would have made it more ominous: Instead of Chapple uploading his consciousness to the nearest police droid, he broadcasts it to all the droids in the city, and so the multiple new "Chappies" start reactivating and curiously walking about. Then a news report shows that he also uploaded his consciousness to the internet, which started infecting most of it and taking control of robot factories throughout the world to make even more Chappies. Whether this portends good or bad things is left open-ended.

Eye Lights Out: The droids have LED displays that turn off when they are deactivated. Chappie's display has expressive eyes, though his actual "eyes" appear to be the Apache Helicopter-esque sensor turret slung under his chin.

Sink or Swim Mentor: Ninja, frustrated at Chappie's inability to learn faster, escorts the droid away under the pretenses of "showing him the real world", dumping him off by a group of malevolent youths. This leads to Moore stealing the guard key and Chappie winding up back home minus an arm. Ninja says Chappie is smart enough to make his way home. It's clearly about teaching Chappie that life is hard, though even Ninja is shocked when Chappie returns without his arm.

Manchild: Chappie is like this. His childlike side shows through his curiosity and friendliness toward everyone he meets, while his more adult side shows in his adopting of urban culture and wielding weapons.

Friend to All Living Things: Chappie has no desire to hurt anyone, and befriends humans and dogs, thanks to Deon's "promise" lessons.

Gangsta Style: Ninja loves to show-off by doing this with his expensive pistol. He even trains Chappie to use a gun in this fashion. The only reason Ninja is remotely accurate is the huge sights on his gun.

Ridiculously Human Robots: Chappie is designed realistically with this, and is even described as "a kid" to the main characters of the film. He gives Futurama's Bender run for his money when he steals cars effortlessly.

Expy: Like Baymax, Chappie is a friendly robot who initially wishes to do no harm. Comparisons have also been made towards the title character of Wall E and Johnny 5 of Short Circuit.note Incidentally enough in the Japanese dub, both Chappie and Baymax are voiced by Tokuyoshi Kawashima. Like Short Circuit, this film also has an Indian scientist character, although played by an actual (British) Indian this time. Also, Chappie is a robot designed for law enforcement, and later fights a larger, more heavily-armed robot made for law enforcement. Additionally, Chappie as Oliver Twist, Ninja as Fagin and Hippo as Bill Sykes; Yolandi as Nancy as well. Chappie is visually inspired by Briareos.

Product Placement: Once again, a Sony Vaio shows up in several scenes. Chappie builds a computer server made from a bunch of PlayStation 4s. When Deon is pulling his all-nighter, he orders his Robot Maid to bring him a few cans of Red Bull.

Robot Buddy: Ninja wants to use Chappie purely as a Mecha-Mook, but Yolandi and Deon see him as a child and a friend. Deon has a very simplistic AI robot as a housekeeper who acts this way.

MacGyvering: Chappie builds an improvised rig out of a neural helmet, several computers and a rack of PlayStations to try and get his consciousness out of his body. And when they start overheating from the strain, he does what every nerd ever has done at least once in their life - he points random fans at the things. It works.
