Or Yul Brynner's Gunslinger from Westworld? I actually liked A.I. for the most part. There were certainly sections that could have been either toned down or skipped altogether, but it was entertaining none the less. Cool list! No Data from the Star Trek films?

It's ever-so-obviously Johnny 5, too, given the lack of expressiveness in his eyes and almost completely different shape. Good job on putting WALL-E on the list, but wow has someone ever bought into a stereotype perpetrated by the ignorant. Look at that face, Johnny 5.

They were just pushing all of the well-worn "buttons" - over, and over... and over - which is not always a terrible thing in the right context (genre films), but when a film is professing to be intellectual and profound, I find it a little insulting, honestly.

I'm a sci-fi fan but damn. I loved how there were clear shifts to completely Spielberg scenes. Crap, crap, crap, Spielberg, crap, Spielberg. Bishop (didn't they call him a synthaziod? don't remeber.) is far cooler than David just for the knife trick. Cleavy - Thank You!

Though, I HATED A.I. - but, I think we've had that discussion before. In my opinion, it's in the same category as the Matrix, laymen's philosophy masquerading as profound. I know you mentioned Ash, but, what about Bishop from Aliens and Alien3 - not sure where he fits into this cyborg/android/robot argument - but he's (it's?) pretty sweet. Cool list Melin!

Possibly Bender from Futurama if you want to get technical. Furthermore, android is the correct term for a masculine robot and gynoid is the term for a feminine robot. Sweet!

T-800 with all the flesh burned away...super cool robot. Just checked my 1986 (2 years after The Terminator) Webster's Dictionary, it has your definition James H. James H.,
