The "robogadget" was a actually based on a specific episode from the cartoon, where Dr. Claw's robot look-alike commits crimes and Gadget goes to jail (thinking it is Chief Qumby's strategy). Dr. Claw then proceeds to have Gadget busted out of jail so it can appear that he kidnaps the
Shah. I think if the cartoon fans had been real die-hards, they might have remembered this episode and found the robogadget more appealing. — Preceding

The movie was shot in
Pittsburgh. This is obvious during the bridge fight (on the
Roberto Clemente Bridge) and when the cops arrive to arrest Claw and their cars say "Pittsburgh P.D." Does anyone know if any of the characters mention the city though? — Preceding

I live in Pittsburgh and I have been to all of the places in the movie. This is one of my favorite movies by the way. They call the city Riverton in the movie, probably to represent the 3 rivers that meet in Pittsburgh.--

Differences from the original cartoons
In the 1999 film, Inspector Gadget uses the phrase "Wowser!". During the original animated series, Inspector gadget would say "Wowsers!" ~~Tend60 —Preceding

IMDb isn't a reliable source, mainly because it doesn't source its "facts". So I would expect another source to be used, instead of just being lazy and using IMDb.

Surname
Gadget is called John Brown in this. Is Penny ever given a surname? Is she called Penny Brown?
