Anecdotes:

This film was originally conceived as a dark high-tech thriller. Number 5 was originally intended to be the villain of the picture: an out-of-control, heavily-armed military robot that had escaped from the lab that had developed him. After several script revisions, the darker elements were toned down and the film became a high-tech comedy.

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: When the armed men are shooting from the boat dock, the barrel of one of the guns can be seen with something in it.

Guillemet:

Ben Jabituya: Newton, we are wasting valueless time here.

"A wonderful film"

This is a great comedy and family film. No. 5 is a cute, friendly and fun filled robot. After he becomes struck by lightning and runs away from the Nova, he is at first just a curious wonderer, until he runs into Stephanie's house. Stephanie is this young woman who loves animals and finds No. 5 to be this innocent looking robot who she takes into her house. No. 5 keeps saying "Malfunction. Need input." which Stephanie interprets as needing information, so she lets No. 5 reed all her encyclopedias then lets him watch the T.V. all night. After all the initial fun and "input" the chase begins when No. 5 realises that the people from Nova are after him and want to dismantle him. "No dismantle! No. 5 is alive! No dead!" And N. 5 has to go through a number of obstacles to avoid being destroyed by these idiots: soldiers and a ruthless general who will do anything to permanently shut No. 5 down. But No. 5 is just too smart. He out smarts these idiots in many was, using all these tricks he has up his sleaves...or in his massive memory bank. So overall if you have a heart then No. 5 is the perfect friend. He will truly capture your heart.
