Inspector Gadget/YMMV: Difference between revisions

Line 25:

* [[Broken Base]]: And how! The fans are divided between those who despised the first film for not being close enough to the cartoons, those who hated the second film for not being enough like the first, people who hated both and prefer to stick to the cartoons, and the people who actually liked both films.

** That's not even taking onto consideration the people who liked either of the movies, but disliked the cartoons.

* [[Complete Monster]]: Apparently, the two years he served out of a life sentence, combined with the seizure of all his assets following his conviction of the murder of Dr. Artemus Bradford and attempted framing of Gadget for crimes committed by a pure robotic double he had set loose on Riverton, hardened Claw's heart further and fueled his desire for revenge against Gadget, to the point of actually trying to tempt Penny to his side by rubbing her uncle's refusal to take her seriously in her face and promising her he won't be like that ([[Screw the Money, I Have Rules|not that it works]]). This gets to the point where the second film may as well be titled ''Inspector Gadget 2: The Revenge of Dr. Claw''. He finally does get his revenge some time after the halfway point, using two of his minions and a controlling device to [[Turn in Your Badge|put Gadget out of the way]] so he could set forth his plan to rob the Federal Reserve empty and get his wealth back. [[Spanner in ~~The~~ Works|Of course, he didn't count on Gadget making a comeback to stop him]] [[Berserk Button|once G2 got deactivated for failing to stop his latest crime, where the currently disgraced Gadget was serving as a valet, shortly afterward]] [[Papa Wolf|and Penny got abducted while snooping around his hideout...]]

* [[Fridge Logic]]: Isn't the name "Robo-Gadget" kind of... redundant?

** Gadget's a cyborg, and [[Robo Gadget]]'s an android.

Line 42:

* [[Uncanny Valley]]: Ironically used effectively in a negative capacity with Robo-Gadget. The shifty eyes and fake teeth are scary without really even trying. One could argue that Broderick made a better villain than a hero in the film.

* [[Visual Effects of Awesome]]: The original is worth watching just for [[Stan Winston|Stan Winston's]] realisations of Inspector Gadget's gadgets.

* [[WTH Casting Agency]]: one of the main complaints in reguards to the first film.

* [[WTH? Casting Agency]]: one of the main complaints in reguards to the first film.
