Inspector Gadget (1999) is a Live-Action Adaptation of the namesake animated series from Walt Disney Pictures, directed by David Kellogg and starring Matthew Broderick, Michelle Trachtenberg, Joely Fisher and Rupert Everett.The movie opens with an origin story for the titular hero (Broderick). Originally a human security guard named John Brown, he dreams of one day being a respected police officer, though he is continually rejected due to his lack of experience. He also has designs on Brenda Bradford (Fisher), a scientist that works at the cybernetics lab he's employed for. After the lab creates a prototype for a computer chip that can control lifelike robotic limbs, Brown's life changes as Corrupt Corporate Executive Sanford Scolex (Everett) breaks into the lab, kills Brenda's father Artemus (René Auberjonois), and makes off with the prototype foot. When Brown pursues him, the resulting car chase ends with Scolex blowing up his car and leaving him with extensive tissue damage. In the aftermath, a bowling ball from Brown's car flies into the air and lands Scolex's own left hand, crushing it to pieces and leading to him getting a selection of cybernetic replacements. His favourite replacement (because it looks cool) is a metallic crab-claw. He dubs himself "Claw." As for Brown, Brenda decides to make him the prototype for the "Gadget Program" and repairs his damaged body by converting him into a cyborg with numerous odd and zany functions—and his own talking wisecracking car the Gadgetmobile (voiced by D.L. Hughley). Now dubbed "Inspector Gadget," he realizes his dream of joining the police force - though his generally goofy and awkward nature and lack of control over his new hardware makes him something of a walking disaster area. Meanwhile, Scolex still has designs on the technology that created him, as he plans to use it to build an unstoppable robot army to take over the world...It was successful enough for Disney to produce a direct-to-video sequel, Inspector Gadget 2 (2003), though none of the original cast returned (except for D.L. Hughley who reprised his role as the Gadgetmobile).Previews: Two Trailers and TV Spots, Trailer #3. | |

Age Lift: Penny was a prepubescent girl in the original cartoon. Here, she's a teenager. While Claw's face wasn't shown in the cartoon, his action figure's white hair suggested that he was at least middle-aged. Sanford Scolex seems to be a relatively young man. | |

Creator Cameo: Andy Heyward- head of DIC Entertainment and one of the original series' co-creators- makes a cameo as a party guest, credited (appropriately enough) as "Mr. D.I.C.". He and his wife Evelyn (credited as "Trophy Bride") can be seen in the background when the camera zooms onto Gagdet's tethered ear stuck onto a sculpture. | |

Darker and Edgier: At least one person gets killed and another critically injured in a series of violent acts that set the plot in motion. Is there any wonder why the MPAA rated the film PG? (Aside from the accidental language, namely, "obtaining the balls", and other innuendo, of course.) | |

Breaking the Fourth Wall: The Gadgetmobile tells Gadget to buckle up, because "It's a Disney movie!" There's also the scene where Claw tells Gadget that he's been watching too many Saturday morning cartoons... and then looks directly into the camera, followed by Gadget doing the same thing, and then Kramer leans into the shot for no other purpose than to look into the camera as well. | |

Artificial Limbs: Interestingly, in the film, Gadget takes some time to get used to them and even comments "it doesn't feel like me." Shortly after being activated, he accidentally extended his neck into the hospital ceiling. Also Dr. Claw's, well, claw. The robotic foot that Dr. Bradford was working on at the start of the film, although it isn't attached to anyone. | |

Chekhov's Gun | |
Inspector Gadget (1999) / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: When Robo-Gadget is first activated, a close-up of him shows a tarantula in a plastic sphere in his body. During his fight with Inspector Gadget, he unleashes this tarantula as a weapon. After pulling out Gadget's NSA chip, Claw presses the red button on his claw, crushing it to pieces. When trapped on Scolex's chopper, Gadget launches a pen chamber into the cockpit, which hits the red button, causing the claw to break the controls. When Gadget punches the Gadgetmobile's monitor, the car tries to sock him with an Extendo Boxing Glove. Gadgetmobile later uses it on Claw after he parachutes into the front seat of the car, knocking him into the backseat so it can cage him. | |

Mythology Gag | |
Inspector Gadget (1999) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: Scolex's very first appearance is set up almost exactly like how Claw typically appeared in the cartoon — facing away from the camera (with only his arm and hand visible, and a fancy-looking ring on his finger), watching a screen, with his Right-Hand Cat nearby. His voice is also very low and ominous, though not like the cartoon's almost-guttural voice. Scolex's skyscraper is shaped like a castle. In the cartoon, Claw's usual lair was in fact in a castle on a mountain somewhere. (Unusually, they didn't make the building appear like that— PPG Place was designed like that already, which may explain why they chose Pittsburgh as a filming location.) | |

Impersonating an Officer | |
Inspector Gadget (1999) / int_27f10418 | comment |
Impersonating an Officer: Robo-Gadget, who isn't so much impersonating a police officer as he is downright smearing the police officer's good name by committing all sorts of crimes–and takes it so far that Chief Quimby would've arrested the real Gadget had Penny and Sykes not revealed that detail about Claw's Evil Plan. | |

Adapted Out: Dr. Claw was the leader of an international crime syndicate known as M.A.D. in the cartoon, but his evil organization is nowhere to be seen. Instead, he is aided by a thug named Sykes and a bumbling scientist named Kramer. In the sequel Claw does display a logo that looks very similar to the M.A.D. Logo though. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome | |
Inspector Gadget (1999) / int_3ed23024 | comment |
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Played for laughs. Brown asks Chief Quimby when he'll be put on the big case. The chief assures him he has something for him to "cut [his] teeth on". Cut to a newspaper montage of Brown being a crossing guard and helping the sanitation department. Remember, Brown is a security guard who was rejected from the police academy early in the film, and is markedly incompetent even after being upgraded. In fact, it's the central joke of the character. | |

Logo Joke | |
Inspector Gadget (1999) / int_5473668f | comment |
Logo Joke: The Walt Disney Pictures castle is completely mechanical at the beginning; in addition, the arc of light that draws itself behind said castle is replaced by the top half of a cog. The end credits has the walking man from the Caravan Pictures logo, forming his Gadget-Copter and flying off. Kind of a metaphor considering this is the last film from the company. | |

Forgot About His Powers: Gadget doesn't think to use his iconic Gadget Copter to bypass Robo-Gadget's You Shall Not Pass! ploy on the bridge. Nor does he think to use it when Robo-Gadget has him clinging to one of the bridge's supports, a good 100 feet in the air, by his fingertips. The worst part is that, after Gadget has defeated Robo-Gadget and gotten back to ground level, what's the first thing he does? "Go-Go Gadget Copter!" | |

Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: "Inspector Gadget apparently has gone berserk in the downtown Riverton area... reports indicate that he has already caused a major traffic accident, destroyed private property, and set fire to an elderly man's beard." | |

Where the Hell Is Springfield?: Averted. Unlike the original series' ambiguous location of Metro City, this one is set in the equally fictional city of Riverton, Ohio (though it's actually filmed in Pittsburgh- perhaps it's the Pittsburgh equivalent of an alternate universe?). | |

Adaptation Dye-Job: Penny is brunette in this movie, while she was blonde in the cartoon. The sequel would make her a blonde again. The colors of Gadget's outfit are different than the cartoon as well. His hat is changed from gray with a light gray band to brown with a black band. His coat is beige instead of gray (though the sequel would make it gray again). His pants and shoes are both black, as opposed to his blue pants and gray shoes from the cartoon. He also wears an assortment of different colored ties, though he does wear a blue one at one point. While his face was never shown in the cartoon, Claw's action figure depicted him with white hair. In the film, he has black hair. | |

Gadget has one when he unintentionally sets off the laboratory alarm at the worst possible time when he tries to recover the foot. Then, Sykes gets one when he wakes up to discover Gadget on the TV monitor. Gadget has another one seconds later when Sykes lowers the door to prevent him from escaping and when he encounters the robots that killed Artemus. | |

Hard Truth Aesop: Scolex tells Gadget that "in the real world, evil quite often prevails," which is a pretty hard truth for those who had to suffer injustice in reality. Fortunately, Gadget proves him wrong. | |

Inspector Gadget (1999) / int_bebb370 | comment |
Gratuitous Italian: Scolex often uses the Italian words "Arrivederci" and "Ciao". Also, the Brazilian dub uses this for the "comprende" dialogue quoted above, replacing it with "capisce"/"capisco".note If comprende was kept, the joke would fall flat because the word is only one letter away from its Portuguese equivalent (comprender = compreender) | |

Shout-Out | |
Inspector Gadget (1999) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The knob for the helmet voltage goes up to 11. Godzilla; when Robo-Gadget is rampaging through the City, he imitates Godzilla with his shadow. The scene also had a Japanese man running away from Robo-gadget, while screaming that this is why he left Tokyo. Minion Kramer's hair is reminiscent of another Kramer. Mayor Wilson says that Chief Quimby calls her "Evil Gidget" behind her back. The plot shares many similarities with RoboCop (1987). "Let's see what you can do, Gadgetmobile, because I feel the need, the need for speed." Early on Gadget is described as "Columbo and Nintendo all rolled into one". | |

Read the Freaking Manual: John's robotic upgrades comes with a comically oversized manual that John barely skims for a moment before deciding he has it all figured out. Of course this leads to John consistently summoning the wrong gadget or using it incorrectly. Brenda calls him out for this when he can't figure out the what gadget to call out when they're falling off a building. Apparently the GadgetMobile also has a manual and he calls John out for pressing his buttons before reading it. | |

Adaptation Origin Connection: Granted, the original cartoon never really gave origin stories for Inspector Gadget and Dr. Claw to begin with, but this film chose to make John Brown's conversion into a cyborg have a connection with Sanford Scolex's hand getting crushed and having it replaced with a robotic claw. John Brown is injured in an accident caused by Scolex. However, the explosion also sends a bowling ball flying out of Brown's car and crushes Scolex's left hand as he is closing the sunroof. Yet another thing to note is that Brown was rebuilt as a cyborg as part of the Gadget Project and Scolex's interest in using the technology for his own ends was what caused Brown's accident in the first place. | |
