| The 6th Day | comment |
Directed by Roger Spottiswoode and starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Tony Goldwyn, Robert Duvall, and Michael Rooker, this 2000 Science Fiction movie takes place in a not-too-distant future where limited cloning technology has come into use for a number of things, from curing diseases to re-animating your pet to cloning fish as a food supply. However, cloning people is illegal. Arnie plays helicopter charter pilot Adam Gibson, a man who unintentionally gets involved with a human cloning cabal, who will kill him to protect their secrets.The title comes from the top quote from the Book of Genesis, which ends up being plot-relevant. The official title is "The 6th Day," not "The Sixth Day," changed to prevent it from being confused with another film that came out the year before. | |

Expendable Clone | |
| The 6th Day / int_145babc0 | comment |
Expendable Clone: Both subverted since clones are considered the same person as before, and played straight when several mooks are somewhat more reckless than they might otherwise be, since if they die they can be brought back using another clone. Drucker does point out that each clone costs $1.2 million after the team suffers many deaths over a couple days. Played for laughs: after Marshall has just had his leg shot off starts screaming angrily about his new boots being ruined!invoked Talia also complains that she had to pierce her ears again and that her hair treatments are very expensive. After Wiley shoots Drucker's latest clone, Drucker tells the other mooks not to bring Wiley back anymore. | |

Mistaken Identity | |
| The 6th Day / int_231e8193 | comment |
Mistaken Identity: Played for drama. Hank pretends to be Adam for Drucker's charter contract (which specifically requested Adam), in order to free Adam up to run some errands. Tripp murders the entire group, Hank and Drucker included. Drucker's men, to cover up his death, clone everyone there, but they also clone Adam because it was his name on the contract, missing the fact that they now have more clones than corpses. The superfluous Adam clone having a still-living counterpart kicks off the plot of the movie. | |

Uncertain Doom | |
| The 6th Day / int_2854b56d | comment |
Uncertain Doom: It's unclear exactly what head Mook Marshall's final fate is. He can be seen to still be breathing when Adam retrieves his gun, but whether he survived the explosion is uncertain. He's also the only villain not seen to be killed on-screen, though he does have his leg blown off. And the fact that his leg later appears to be perfectly fine raises some interesting implications. | |

Clone Degeneration | |
| The 6th Day / int_38326b11 | comment |
Clone Degeneration: Most of the clones are actually perfect copies with the memories of the original uploaded into them, but in the climax the villain is forced to clone himself again before he dies of a gutshot. Adam then sabotages the cloning tanks which creates an incomplete, embryonic-looking clone of Drucker. Dr. Weir also alludes to an early experiment years before wherein scientists unsuccesfully tried to clone a human, the result of which was eventually put out of its misery. | |

Zeerust: The film opens on an XFL game. The XFL was a blink-and-you'll-miss-it American Football league, backed by Vince McMahon, which was meant to compete with the NFL. It ended so quickly that most people don't even remember it existed, yet it's featured in this movie's futuristic setting (even an attempt at reviving it in 2020 didn't last long). While cloning is nowhere near as advanced as in the film, nor did Ray Guns become a reality, the writers did make some accurate predictions on the smaller-scale tech, like Adam putting in an order for milk on his smart fridge, video phones (which sci-fi writers have hypothesized since at least the 1950s), driverless cars, and Adam's friend Hank has an A.I. girlfriend. This is not so surprising, since most of these are reasonable extrapolations from technology in the early 2000s. | |

Properly Paranoid: Drucker is mentioned to take backups of his mind "religiously". Given the number of people trying to kill him (two of which succeeded), he's pretty justified in doing so. When Adam negotiates a deal with Drucker, trading Drucker's memory disc for Adam's family, Adam knows they won't honor it and prepares accordingly. | |

Body Horror: Drucker ends up in an unfinished clone, since his previous iteration was dying and didn't have the time to copy into a clone that was properly formed.

Affably Evil | |
| The 6th Day / int_537dd8fe | comment |
Affably Evil: Michael Drucker; while he's quite ruthless in protecting the secret that he's a clone — understandable since cloning is illegal and he'd be considered legally dead, if not executed — his human cloning technology could change the face of human suffering and save many lives, as he himself notes, and the technology is already used in-story for organ transplants and to solve depleted fish stocks. He's even lobbying aggressively to get the law against cloning changed, working within the system so that he can do things legally. That being said, he routinely murders people before replacing them with clones, sometimes for purely profit-driven reasons. | |

Heel–Face Turn: Kind of. Dr. Weir seems generally good, but he has knowingly gone along with the underground cloning operation (though he's horrified by the suggestion that Drucker's mooks are trying to kill/threaten Adam and his family). He then decides to help Adam after discovering that Drucker gave the clones, including Weir's wife, congenital defects to shorten their lifespans and thus make sure they'd have an incentive not to sell him out. | |

I Have Your Wife: Drucker does this to ensure the return of his stolen mind upload, and to prevent Adam from going to the police with it as evidence of human cloning. | |

Bavarian Fire Drill | |
| The 6th Day / int_62fd5552 | comment |
Bavarian Fire Drill: Adam makes his way deep into Drucker's HQ by acting like he belongs there, making use of a Borrowed Biometric Bypass, and by tricking a guard into letting him pass with his gun by pretending his package actually contains a flesh-eating virus. Later on, he pulls it again, in the same building no less, by landing on the helipad and using his prior travel contract with Drucker to bluff his way inside under the pretense of picking up his client. Marshall also manages to pass himself as an authorised person when attempting to retrieve Adam from a police station, though given that they're able to access the police database, it's likely he has fake credentials to back him up. | |

Lack of Empathy | |
| The 6th Day / int_658f7193 | comment |
Lack of Empathy: Drucker’s fine words about cloning as a means of extending life fall apart when his next clone is activated in a partially-formed state while the previous Drucker isn’t dead yet, the ‘new’ Drucker stripping his predecessor of his clothes and attempting to convince Adam that his vendetta is with the other Drucker whereas the newly-created clone technically hasn’t done anything to Adam himself. | |

Legally Dead | |
| The 6th Day / int_6a4a2085 | comment |
Legally Dead: One of the reasons why Drucker is so keen to keep the fact that he's a clone secret. As the law is written, he's already legally dead and thus his assets would be seized. The other is because he would also likely be destroyed. While the case he cites apparantly refers to a horribly-mutated prototype that was given a Mercy Kill, one can understand why he wouldn't want to take that chance. | |

Meaningful Name | |
| The 6th Day / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: Adam Gibson. His first name references the first man created in Abrahamic faiths, and his surname is likely a shout out to cyberpunk's "grandfather" William Gibson. Also, Drucker is German for printer. Considering how Drucker's technology allows him to reproduce (print) human templates indefinitely, this is fitting. The first human we see who is killed and brought back to life is Johnny Phoenix. | |

Villain Has a Point | |
| The 6th Day / int_723be11b | comment |
Villain Has a Point: Drucker points out that human cloning could save many lives, and ensure that humanity doesn't have to lose its Martin Luther Kings and Mozarts. The laws on cloning in-story are also heavily implied to be out-of-date, and influenced by religion. Moreover, non-human cloning already has saved many lives; in one of his speeches, he points out that his company restored several species of fish that were close to extinction due to overfishing and thereby prevented world hunger. | |

Armor-Piercing Question: While Drucker's speech about the 'merits' of human cloning appeared mostly convincing, it falls apart when Adam bluntly asks him who gets to actually choose who can be cloned. Drucker's response that he's stepping in God's shoes is pretty telling. | |

Unfriendly Fire: Wiley twices shoots a member of his side while trying to hit Adam. Once during a car chase, he shoots Talia in the neck. Later, he shoots Drucker himself in the gut. The latter screw-up proves to be his undoing, since Drucker personally executes Wiley and orders his other minions not to clone him again. | |

Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Hank essentially sets off the subsequent chain of events just because he volunteers to take Drucker flying while posing as Adam so the real Adam can check out RePet, leading to the exposure of Drucker’s cloning program. If Hank hadn't switched places, there would never have been a mix-up that led to the creation of the second Adam while his original was still alive and well. | |

Foreshadowing: Tripp's importance to the plot before the reveal is foreshadowed by the several lingering camera shots. Hank brings up an important point when Adam takes him to his house to show that a clone has taken over his life: How does he know that the other Adam is the clone? Drucker complains that it costs a lot of money to clone his minions every time so they better prove that they are worth the investment. In the climax, he specifically orders that one of them not be cloned again when he accidentally shoots Drucker. | |

Evil Luddite: Tripp kills Drucker's entire entourage in the beginning, thus setting off the plot. Just in case we might try to sympathize, he goes and kills Hank again later, just for being a clone. Mind you, he is responsible for Hank being a clone, a fact Hank himself is ignorant of. Subverted by Adam himself. While he objects to cloning people and calls out Drucker for playing god, he clarifies that he doesn't think technology in of itself is evil, just that Drucker cannot be trusted with so much power. | |

While cloning is nowhere near as advanced as in the film, nor did Ray Guns become a reality, the writers did make some accurate predictions on the smaller-scale tech, like Adam putting in an order for milk on his smart fridge, video phones (which sci-fi writers have hypothesized since at least the 1950s), driverless cars, and Adam's friend Hank has an A.I. girlfriend. This is not so surprising, since most of these are reasonable extrapolations from technology in the early 2000s. | |

Dead Pet Sketch: RePet is essentially this up to eleven. Pet died? Clone it. Good as new and your kid never suspects a thing. The film opens with Adam being forced by his wife to get the dog cloned, despite his reluctance. In a strange twist, the clone ultimately decides against the procedure and gets a Sim Pal instead, while the original decides to go with the cloned pet. | |

Brain Uploading | |
| The 6th Day / int_fc52510 | comment |
Brain Uploading: Upon death or near death, the most recent contents of your memory can be uploaded to a new clone; the upside being that you'll continue to live in one way. The catch, however, is that it won't be you. Your clone will look, think and act like you in every way, but your consciousness — your unique, individual perception of an environment — won't be transferred. In other words, you'll still die hoping that copy of you will carry out what was once your life. | |

What really cements it is that he was willing to kill Dr. Wier, the real well-intentioned extremist, so he could bring him and his wife back, because he thought it would make them happy. | |
