Trivia
Andy refers to the original Turk, created in 1770, as an automaton, which the device was purported to be. However, since the mid-nineteenth century, the Turk has been known to be merely a hoax, with a human being sitting within the machine playing chess, rather than the machine playing by itself.

Goofs
The 'blood' covering the floor and walls of the scientists home is still red, though when blood de-oxygenates (through natural metabolism) it turns dark red then brown until it dries, shrinking and taking on a crackly appearance. Only blood fresh from the body is bright red.

Quotes
John Connor: Don't seem like a freak. You know what I mean, right?
Cameron Phillips: Freak. Weirdo. Kook. Oddball. Crackpot. Strange duck. Weird potato. Nut. I've been reading the dictionary. I don't sleep.
John Connor: Yeah, see, that's what I'm talking about. You do that, you sound like a freak.

A Literal Bloodbath...

A computer called The Turk, could become quite a bad guy, an adolescent attitude, it's a humanlike A. I., a machine that's marinating, in a tub of red blood cells, covers it in New York Strip, and arterially it gels.
