Context Trivia / InspectorGadget2

Go To

1* {{Blooper}}: While the film goes through quite a bit of effort to not show Claw's face, sometimes the camera slips up and reveals Tony Martin's face.
2* CaliforniaDoubling: Brisbane, Australia for Ohio.
3* ExecutiveMeddling: Around 10 minutes were cut, partially to obtain a G rating.
4* FakeAmerican: Due to being shot in Brisbane, most of the cast are from Australia. The exceptions being Creator/FrenchStewart (Gadget), Creator/ElaineHendrix (G2), Caitlin Wachs (Penny), Creator/JeffBennett (voice of Brain) and Creator/DLHughley (voice of the Gadgetmobile). Another exception is Jungle Bob's actor, Mick Roughan, who speaks in his natural Australian accent, which fits his character.
5* FranchiseKiller: The film prevented a third live-action Inspector Gadget film being made. Talks of a reboot have been bandied about since UsefulNotes/TheNewTens.
6* NoStuntDouble: Creator/ElaineHendrix, who played G2, performed all her own stunts. [[https://youtu.be/hJKYAH_aLtw?t=182 As shown in this behind the scenes footage]], Hendrix had to learn to do backflips for the scene for where G2 splits in a half, which can easily be mistaken for a CGI replica of her torso, but it was indeed her.
7* TheOtherDarrin: All of the actors from the first film, with the exception of D.L. Hughley, were replaced in the sequel.
8* PropRecycling: Par for the course, but it ''is'' nice to see the control panel from Scolex's remote-control van serving as Claw's do-everything console.
9* TechnologyMarchesOn: The film is set before patching/bugfix updates became common. Glitchy software can be fixed in 5 minutes with good Wi-Fi. Gadget is threatened with medical retirement and replacement over his glitches.
10* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
11** Creator/MatthewBroderick was in talks early on to reprise his role but ultimately backed out.
