with the aid of the various gadgets he has on his person: pop-up rollerskates, extensible arms, a helicopter-hat, etc. Despite the arsenal at his disposal (which is just as likely to misfire as work properly), Gadget never seems to be able to catch Dr. Claw, the mastermind behind M.A.D. Quite often, in fact, any success that Gadget might have is often caused by his niece Penny and her dog, who Gadget consistently fails to recognize as working incognito on the case.

Each episode Inspector Gadget would receive his instructions from Police Chief Quimby who would usually be hiding in the oven or a wastebin. Gadget would then go off to fight crime with the aid of countless gadgets such as an umbrella which came out of his head and springs in his feet. In fact, Gadget had loads and loads of gadgets; how they ever got them all into the human body is a mystery. Gadget would go out to solve the crime but he was actually a bumbling detective. It was actually his niece Penny and his dog Brain who would solve the crime but of course Gadget took all the credit. The villains were good. The organisation was M.A.D. (I cannot remember what M.A.D. stood for)which was headed by the unseen Dr. Claw whose face was never revealed throughout the show (I could be wrong). Claw was one of those typical wicked 80's villains. Gadget had it all-comedy and action. It was brilliant.

Yes Inspector Gadget | Disney Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia [ show ] Plot John Brown (Matthew Broderick) is a security guard in Riverton who lives with his niece Penny (Michelle Trachtenberg) and her dog Brain, and dreams of being a real life police officer. One night John is securing the parking lot of the Bradford Laboratory which is owned by his love interest Dr. Brenda Bradford (Joely Fisher) and her father Artemeus (Rene Auberjonois). A scientist and businessman named Sandford Scolex (Rupert Everett) and his henchman Sykes (Michael G. Hagerty) send machines to break into the lab, steal the Bradford's cyborg components and kill Artemus. John chases Scolex's limosine in his car but winds up flipping his car over by a trap from Scolex and orders the villain to step out of the limosine and surrender. Scolex does but throws an explosive cigar at John's car causing it to blow up and accidently crushes his left hand with a bowling ball during the process.

The next day Brenda Bradford saves John's life by rebuilding in John Brown's body at the hospital making him the first cyborg Police Inspector for the Riverton Police Department known as Inspector Gadget. She also gives him the Gadgetmobile (voiced by D.L. Hughley) which both help Gadget capture two escaped prisoners. Meanwhile Scolex has his second henchman Kramer (Andy Dick) build him a claw to replace his left hand and goes by the name Claw and when he learns that Gadget is getting promoted Police Inspector at a ceremony for capturing the thieves he attends and meets Brenda and asks her to come work for him to which she does, not knowing that he's the man who killed her father. Gadget wants the case of Artemus' murder but Chief Quimby (Dabney Coleman) denies it to him because he's not a real police officer so Brown decides to take the case himself and finds a silver coin in the murder evidence which has SI on it and tries to figure out what it stands for. Meanwhile Scolex and his henchmen build a robot clone of Gadget called Robo Gadget who terrorises the city and makes everyone think that he's the real Inspector.

Soon Gadget realizes that SI stands for Scolex Industries and that Sandford Scolex is the one who murdered Artemus and rushes off to tell Brenda but is captured by Claw and his henchmen. Claw removes the Neuron Synapse Amplifier chip that is the main source of Gadget's function, destroys it and has Gadget dumped in the junkyard. Meanwhile Brenda learns that Claw built a robot clone of her called Robo Brenda who reveals to her that Scolex stole the cyborg components and she realizes that Claw killed her father and rushes off to find Gadget. Claw has Robo Gadget set fire in the city and scare people but luckily Gadget comes back to life in the junkyard and is rescued by Brenda and Penny. He manages to catch up to Scolex's limosine and fights RoboGadget on the streets. During the fight Gadget pulls off his evil double's head and throws it into the water, leaving the rest of the body to wander the streets without a second thought. He then uses his Helicopter Hat to fly off and save Brenda who has been taken hostage by Claw.

The villain tries to escape with Brenda in his helicopter and kill Gadget, but the Inspector saves her and together they land into a pond nearby where they share a kiss. Claw eventually comes down by parachute and lands in the Gadgetmobile where he is locked in a cage. The police arrive as do Penny and Sykes. Penny tells Chief Quimby that Claw created an evil version of her uncle to destroy Riverton to which Sykes says is true and gives Quimby the robotic foot. Claw and Sykes are arrested and John is promoted a hero and in the end shares a kiss with Brenda outside his house and the Gadgetmobile chases a Beetle Bug Car. During the credits it is shownd that Robo Brenda became an aerobics instructer, Sykes gets free from prison and becomes a member of a group for minions, Robo Gadget's body is still moving on the streets without his head until finally bumping into the screen, Penny receives a communicator watch along with Brain wearing a translator collar and Gadgetmobile gets married to the Beetle Car. He also addresses the audience till the end of the credits. Cast Brian George as the Guru Voices D. L.

The show is about a clumsy, simple-witted cyborg detective named Inspector Gadget - a human being with various bionic gadgets built into his body. Gadget's arch-nemesis is Dr. Claw, the leader of an evil organization, known as "M.A.D." This was the first syndicated cartoon show from DIC Entertainment (as well as the first from the company to be created specifically for American viewers, along with The Littles and Heathcliff and the Catillac Cats). It originally ran from 1983 to 1986 and remained in syndication into the late 1990s. It continues to air successfully in reruns around the world. Inspector Gadget is a 1999 American live-action comedy film loosely based on the 1983 animated cartoon series Inspector Gadget.

It starred Matthew Broderick as the title character, along with Rupert Everett as Dr. Claw, Michelle Trachtenberg as Penny, and Dabney Coleman as Chief Quimby. Two new characters were introduced, Brenda Bradford (played by Joely Fisher) and the Gadgetmobile (voiced by D.L. Hughley). The film tells the story of how Inspector Gadget and Dr. Claw came to be in the cartoon. The film was produced by Caravan Pictures and DIC Entertainment and distributed by Walt Disney Pictures. It was filmed in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and Los Angeles, California, with the ice castle-like main tower of Pittsburgh's PPG Place playing a central role.

Related Articles JeffVice (Male) Deseret News Critic No Maturity Rating | Worth Your Time A plea to Walt Disney Pictures officials: No more live-action, big-screen comedies based on kids' cartoons. Please. I mean, the Brendan Fraser- starring version of "George of the Jungle" was bad enough, but the new comedy "Inspector Gadget" makes that one look like a cinematic masterpiece by comparison. It doesn't help that the filmmakers decided to throw in some surprisingly, inappropriate-for-children crude humor (in the form of bad puns and worse sight gags) or that the movie was filmed in an annoyingly hectic fashion, which is sure to irritate parents. Also, they've changed the premise of the source material (a long-running TV cartoon) and combined it with parts of "The Six Million Dollar Man" or "RoboCop," and in the process they've lost most of the silly elements that made the series appealing. In fact, the one real positive thing here is that the studio mandated cuts that resulted in a shorter movie.

As a result, the film has gone from an incredibly painful 100 minutes to a slightly less painful 80, though even 60 minutes (or 40, or 20, for that matter) would be too long. Matthew Broderick stars as the title character, a bumbling security guard who is horribly injured while trying to catch some fleeing suspects. But he is "rebuilt" by Brenda Bradford (Joely Fisher), a beautiful scientist who replaces his injured limbs with mechanical gizmos. With his new "enhancement," the cyborg detective quickly joins the local police department, hoping to discover just who is responsible for his injuries and for killing Brenda's father. Unfortunately, his new boss (Dabney Coleman) refuses to give him that case and instead puts him to work on more mundane assignments. Eventually he gets his chance to prove himself and clear his name when industrialist Sanford Scolex (Rupert Everett) creates an evil duplicate (Broderick again) that begins destroying the city. Meanwhile, Gadget is aided by his niece, Penny (Michelle Trachtenberg) and the "Gadgetmobile," a smart-mouthed, souped-up auto.

It's obvious that first-time director David Kellogg and a trio of (credited) screenwriters don't really have a handle on the material, which changes gears from would-be slapstick comedy to painfully unfunny parodies of other films (including "Godzilla" and "Last of the Mohicans") with little success. What's worse, Kellogg also seems to have little control over his cast, which is either wildly over-the-top (Broderick), hopelessly bland (Fisher) or seemingly uninterested and uninspired (Everett). "Inspector Gadget" is rated PG for violence, including fistfights and explosions (much of which is done slapstick-style), some suggestive sight gags, crude humor and a couple of profanities.

See more » Connections The Good, the Bad & the Ugly (1966) (United States) – See all my reviews Children and adults alike are decidedly ill served by "Inspector Gadget," a frenetic but genuinely mirthless live action take on the popular Saturday morning cartoon series that mires poor Matthew Broderick in the role of a nerdish do-gooder who gets the chance to live out his heroic fantasies when he is converted into a one-man, self-contained crime fighting cybernetic arsenal.

Thanks to current state-of-the-art special effects, the filmmakers manage to effectively translate the cartoonish aspects of the original to the live action format. Despite a few glaringly bad shots utilizing rear screen projection, the visuals that help to realize the infinite gadgets at the inspector's disposal are genuinely jaw-dropping. What the movie makers couldn't (or, at least, wouldn't) come up with is a decent script - without which all the greatest special effects in the world cannot a quality film make. Gadget is surrounded by a gallery of dull, poorly written caricatures ranging from a giddy, self-absorbed mayor, to a gruff, shortsighted chief of police, and an effete mad scientist bent on creating an army of indestructible gadget warriors, with which, of course, he (ho hum) plans to rule the world. Even the newly "hipified" gadget mobile comes across as a charmless, grating irritant as he provides a constant stream of witless one-liners as running commentary to the action. Of the actors, Broderick and Rupert Everett cannot be faulted since both provide a degree of enthusiasm wholly unwarranted by the inferior screenplay with which they are saddled.

For a perfect marriage of sophisticated writing and unsurpassable special effects, check out "Toy Story 2."

Language: Inspector Gadget TV Review What parents need to know Educational value There’s nothing educational about the show, but it does incorporate life lessons about safety, sportsmanship, and responsibility. Positive messages Each episode ends with Inspector Gadget and Penny highlighting a lesson about personal safety that relates to the story’s content. Although the show casts the Inspector as the hero, the real brains behind the operation is Penny, whose intelligence is the team’s main weapon against Dr. Claw.

Good and evil are clearly defined. Themes include courage and teamwork. Positive role models Although his clumsiness and naivety often work in contrast to his goals, Inspector Gadget is protective of Penny and always willing to put himself in harm’s way for the safety of those around him. Penny is smart and clever and uses both traits to protect her uncle without him being aware. Violence & scariness Cartoon-style explosions, crashes, and long falls are more humorous than scary, as is the frequent peril (speeding toward a waterfall or hurtling down a mountain, for instance) in which the characters find themselves. Sexy stuff Review this title! What's the story? INSPECTOR GADGET is the story of a bumbling, accident-prone detective (voiced by Don Adams ) equipped with mechanical appendages and bionic tools who’s engaged in an ongoing battle with his nemesis, Dr. Claw ( Frank Welker ). Gadget’s boss, Chief Quimby ( Maurice LaMarche ), tasks him with protecting innocent citizens from the threats of Dr. Claw’s M.A.D. organization, but dimwitted Gadget’s naivety keeps him from recognizing Dr.

Claw’s minions for the threats they really are, and he often falls victim to their sabotage. Fortunately his genius niece Penny (Holly Berger) and her dog Brain (Welker again) tag along on his cases, lending an unseen hand along the way to help Gadget upstage the bad guys. Is it any good? QUALITY This classic ‘80s cartoon is a fun change of pace from the violence-ridden hero types that gained popularity in the ‘90s and beyond. The closest thing that Gadget has to a weapon is a snow-blowing finger, and what mishaps do occur (and there are plenty when this goofy protagonist is around) are plenty comical and hard to construe as reality. Even better, it’s obvious to everyone except Gadget that the real hero is bright, tech-savvy Penny, who, despite her youth, always manages to save the day with her quick thinking but allows her uncle to bask in the limelight. Gadget’s array of bionic tools and stretchy limbs will capture kids’ imaginations, and it’s just plain fun to see how he gets out of the many scrapes in which he finds himself.

Inspector Gadget is a worry-free option for kids, made even more appealing by the fact that each episode wraps up with a message about safety and responsibility that relates to the story and is directed at the viewers themselves. Families can talk about... Families can talk about heroes. Which characters in Inspector Gadget could be considered heroes ? Is any one person more heroic than another? Who are some of your heroes? What do you admire about them? Kids: In what ways is Inspector Gadget always prepared for any situation? What kinds of scenarios can you prepare for? What tools or supplies would you need in these cases? This show’s humor is entwined in Gadget’s oblivious nature. When is it appropriate to laugh at someone’s expense? Is it forgivable in this case because he’s a cartoon character? Would it be different if he were a real person? Have you ever been the brunt of a joke? How does it feel? How do the characters in Inspector Gadget demonstrate courage and teamwork ? Why are these important character strengths ?

TV details Inspector Gadget (film) | Inspector Gadget Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia Inspector Gadget is a 1999 American live-action comedy film, loosely based on the series of the same name . It starred Matthew Broderick as the title character , along with Rupert Everett as Dr. Claw , Michelle Trachtenberg as Penny , Dabney Coleman as Chief Quimby , and Frances Bay as Thelma Bodkin . 5 new characters were introduced: Brenda Bradford (played by Joely Fisher ), Kramer (played by Andy Dick ), Mayor Wilson (played by Cheri Oteri ), Sykes (played by Michael G. Hagerty ), the Gadgetmobile (voiced by D. L. Hughley ), RoboGadget (played by Matthew Broderick), and RoboBrenda (played by Joely Fisher). The film tells the story of how Gadget and Claw's origins and how they came to be in the cartoon. Inspector Gadget was produced by Caravan Pictures and DIC Entertainment and distributed by Walt Disney Pictures. This was the last film produced by Caravan Pictures before it absorbed into Spyglass Entertainment.

The film was followed by the 2003 direct-to-video sequel Inspector Gadget 2 . Contents [ show ] Plot One day in Riverton, Ohio, John Brown ( Matthew Broderick ) is working as a police officer when he notices an out-of-control bus with no brakes, with scared people screaming for help inside. He then notices kids walking a dog from school on the street, so he throws the dog away and saves the kids and pulls the bus back and stopping it, thus saving the day. However, the dog is still in danger and John saves it in time by grabbing it and giving it back to the kids. A witness named Brenda Bradford ( Joely Fisher ) congratulates John and tells him he's a hero. However, the entire thing turns out to be a dream as John and his niece Penny ( Michelle Trachtenberg )'s dog Brain wakes John up by licking him in the face. In reality, John works as a security guard at the laboratory run by the robotics scientist Brenda and her father Artemus ( René Auberjonois ) in Riverton, Ohio. John wishes to join the Riverton Police Department , with full support from Penny and Brain.

Brenda and Artemus create a life-like robotic foot which they can control through thought as a prototype for the Gadget Program . However, tycoon Sanford Scolex ( Rupert Everett ) attacks the lab, kills Artemus, and steals the foot in his plan to replicate the technology, create an army of machines, and eventually conquer the world. John chases Sanford, but they are both severely wounded, with John being blown up in his car with a stick of dynamite thrown by Sanford whilst the criminal's left hand is crushed by a blue bowling ball blasted out of the latter's car, making him scream loudly in pain. John is rushed to intensive care, with Brenda deciding to turn him into a completely cybernetic man using a computer chip that powers John's in-built gadgetry (à la The Six Million Dollar Man) since she feels that he is "the perfect candidate" for the Gadget Program. John, now with the name of Inspector Gadget, joins the police squad, which irritates Chief Quimby ( Dabney Coleman ). He is also accompanied by his talking, intelligent car the Gadgetmobile (voiced by D. L. Hughley ) and is forced to do community service assignments when wanting to investigate the Bradford case.

Meanwhile, Sanford has been given a prosthetic claw and he renames himself Dr. Claw ("One word. Like Madonna.") after his minions try to give him different names, intending to build the first of his mechanical army using Brenda's technology and hires her to join his business. Unsatisfied with his mediocre work, Inspector Gadget decides to take up the Bradford case in secret and with help from Penny and the Gadgetmobile, he realizes that Dr. Claw is behind Artemus' murder. As he sneaks into Claw's headquarters, Claw completes an evil replica of Gadget named RoboGadget (Matthew Broderick) after hacking into Brenda's systems and stole her research. Gadget is captured by Claw and his minions Kramer ( Andy Dick ) and Sykes ( Michael G. Hagerty ), who shut down (and apparently kill) Gadget by removing and crushing his computer chip before dumping him in the junkyard. RoboGadget goes on a mad rampage across the city whilst Brenda, Penny, Brain, and the Gadgetmobile come across Inspector Gadget in the junkyard. Brenda manages to revive Gadget by kissing him and the group rush to Riverton to stop Claw and RoboGadget.

Gadget confronts RoboGadget and they fight across a bridge until Gadget pulls a cord on his counterpart's neck, which makes his head fall off whilst his body runs off. As RoboGadget tries to convince Gadget into letting them be partners and rule the world together, Gadget ignores him by replying he should've quit while "he was a head" and throws the robot's head into the nearby river, apparently killing and drowning it. Soon, Brenda is taken captive by Claw, who tries to make his escape in a helicopter. Gadget appears using his helicopter hat, but he's shot down and suspended from the landing gear of Claw's helicopter above the city. Gadget and Brenda are able to get away by using an umbrella to sail safely to the ground, with Claw following by using a parachute. He is then promptly arrested by the police when Penny appears with a now-reformed Sykes, who hands over the robotic foot to Chief Quimby. Gadget and Brenda become a couple, but Dr. Claw promises Gadget that they'll meet again in the future.

Over the closing credits, RoboBrenda is seen teaching "robo-aerobics" and one of Claw's minions are now in a support-recovery group. After that, Penny is now equipped with a wrist-monitor, trying to make contact with Brain (now voiced by Don Adams ). Then RoboGadget's body is seen running around the streets and then it runs into the camera. Finally, the Gadgetmobile tells the viewers what happened after the end (while also claiming that it was his movie, despite the title being Inspector Gadget). Cast Matthew Broderick ( Inspector Gadget ) and Dabney Coleman (Chief Quimby ) previously worked together in WarGames. Movie Gallery Production The film was filmed in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and Los Angeles, California, with the ice castle-like main tower of Pittsburgh's PPG Place playing a central role.

[5] The Gadgetmobile The Gadgetmobile, designed by Brenda Bradford , is based on a 1964 Lincoln Continental convertible and has an artificial intelligence with a male persona. Among other things, "he" can camouflage himself, has a radar system to track Gadget 's location (and other people as well), can extend his tires upwards, has retractable jail bars in his back seat for transporting criminals, and has a powerful engine he keeps in his back trunk. His artificial intelligence also has a laid-back personality.

The Gadgetmobile openly breaks the law constantly (he is a particular fan of back turns), but he says it is okay: "Speed limits are for cars, not the Gadgetmobile." The Gadgetmobile's voice is provided by D. L. Hughley . Soundtrack The soundtrack of the film contains the single "I'll Be Your Everything" by the boy band Youngstown. Trivia Inspecter Gadget movie (film) appear in a Walts Disney then it appear in Cartoon Network only once. Dr. Claw reveal his face in the movie. Sequel On March 11, 2003, a direct-to-video sequel called Inspector Gadget 2 was released. References Inspector Gadget | Disney Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia [Source] Inspector Gadget is the main character of the animated television series of the same name , and as such, the protagonist of the two live-action Disney film adaptations. He is a cyborg who frequently bumbles during his cases and gets into danger, but he always gets out of trouble through either his trusty gadgets, the unseen assistance of his niece, Penny , or pure luck.

In the continuity of the Disney movies, he was formerly John Brown, a normal shy security guard who became a cyborg after Dr. Brenda Bradford saved his life when he was severely injured in a car explosion caused by his soon-to-be-archnemesis Sanford Scolex ( Dr. Claw ). Since then he joined the Riverton Police Department as the first Cyborg policeman and has been serving the community efficiently. Contents Role in the films Inspector Gadget John Brown lives with his niece, Penny, and their dog, Brain , hoping to one day become a heroic police officer. However, they keep denying him because he does not have enough experience because he only works as a security guard. He also has a crush on Brenda Bradford, the daughter of Artemus Bradford, one of the lead scientists working at Bradford Robotics Laboratory which he guards. One night, Sanford Scolex breaks in to steal components of cyborg technology known as the "Gadget" program and kills Artemus. John arrives and sees Brenda sobbing over her father's dead body. He vows to arrest whoever is responsible for this crime. He heads for his car and chases Scolex who is in his limousine, but he activates an oil slick that flips John's car upside down.

Scolex's limousine ends up crashing into a Yahoo billboard. John orders Scolex to surrender, but he lights and throws an explosive cigar at his car, blowing it up and severely injuring him. However the explosion releases a large bowling ball that flies through the sunroof of Scolex's limousine and crushes his left hand, forcing him to get it replaced by a large metal claw, becoming Dr. Claw . Out of gratitude for his selflessness, Brenda has the hospital staff rebuild John as Inspector Gadget as the first cyborg police officer, completing the Gadget Program. It is thanks to a Neuron Synapse Amplifier chip inserted in his new body that he is able to move any of the machinery now within him; Scolex missed stealing it during the break in. After coming to, John is confused by his new body, but is trained by Brenda to control the gadgets within him. He is then given the Gadgetmobile as a gift, but finds it hard to get along with it.

After stopping escaped convicts, Gadget attends a ball in his honor, where he once again meets Scolex (who he doesn't remember due to a concussion suffered during the accident leaving his short-term memory shot) and learns he wants Brenda to work for him. In the following weeks, Gadget is put to work doing minor tasks, such as being a crossing guard and rescuing kittens. Annoyed, Gadget goes to Chief Quimby and demands to be put on the Bradford murder case, but is flatly refused. Deciding to make his own case, Gadget inspects the evidence from the case and finds two very small letters "SI" printed on a piece of metal. Trying to find out what it could mean, he then sees a Scolex Industries truck with the help of Penny and realizes Brenda could be in danger. Unbeknownst to him, Claw has created RoboGadget , a robotic copy of him, and sent it out into Riverton to cause chaos. Sneaking into Scolex Industries, Gadget warns Brenda about Claw and proceeds to try retrieving the stolen foot. However, he sets off an alarm and gets captured.

Claw tells him about his plan to create obedient robot soldiers and sell them to other countries for profit; through his assistant Kramer wanted to use the technology for more humane and benevolent purposes. To make sure no one else can create them, he disables Gadget and has his NSA chip destroyed. He is then thrown into the junkyard. Brenda, Penny, Brain, and the Gadgetmobile find him. Though it would be impossible for him to move on his own without the chip, following a kiss from Brenda, he awakens and pulls himself together. Dropping Penny off at home, Gadget chases down Claw's limousine and quite literally breaks into it, attempting to arrest him and RoboGadget. However, his doppleganger knocks him off the car when they reach the bridge. Following a fight with him, Gadget manages to remove RoboGadget's head and toss it into the river (the body runs wild in the city). Using his helicopter hat, Gadget gets to Scolex Industries once again, but has his means of transportation destroyed by a missile from Dr. Claw's helicopter. He is then stuck on its feet.

Using a pen from his hand, Gadget manages to activate the crushing function of Claw's claw and damage the controls. He and Brenda then plunge from the helicopter until he activates a parasol in his hat to slow their descent. However, they crash into a statue of Claw, causing a parachute (that would not work when he called it) to open. When Brenda checks on him, Gadget is unaware that his hat is conveying his love for her by showing hearts. He is stopped from explaining himself by the sound of Claw's screaming. The Gadgetmobile catches him as the police arrive and try to arrest Gadget for the damage his doppleganger did. However, Penny clears his name by having Claw's ex-henchman, Sykes, tell the truth. He then leaves with Brenda while Claw is arrested and shares a kiss with her that night on his porch. Inspector Gadget 2 Inspector Gadget in IG2 Some time later, Gadget had ended his relationship with Brenda (for an unknown reason) and is being regularly checked on by Professor Baxter of the Gadget Program.

By this time, he had been malfunctioning by experiencing several glitches and severe bad judgment (which has him put an old lady who's Chief Quimby's mother in jail for going 3 miles over the speed limit.) However, he is given hope about the glitches being put to an end by Baxter. Much to his shock, Gadget learns Claw has broken out of jail and is still holding a grudge for being the reason behind his lack of funds and a good hideout. It is then that the project Baxter said would put an end to the glitches is revealed to be a robotic new Gadget - Gadget Model 2 or G2 for short. Gadget is immediately smitten with his robotic successor, but she finds him obsolete and imbecilic. Attempting to stay on the Claw case, Gadget tries infiltrating the bar where Claw is recruiting minions for the latest Crime of the Century, but ticks off the patrons. He then receives a video recording from Penny of the meeting Claw's original minions Brick and McKibble had with the recruits. However, G2 also sees this and Chief Quimby puts her on stakeout, warning Gadget not to come within 100 feet of it.

He uses the technicality in Chief Quimby's warning and stays 101 feet away. However, once the bad guys try stealing power cells, he fails in assisting G2, allowing them to escape. Gadget is then demoted to cleaning toilets, much to the amusement of Claw (who read about it in the paper). He is then sent an anonymous letter from Claw, tricking him into going to the science convention. It is there that Claw's minions place a device on his hat that allows Claw to control him to create a distraction for his minions to steal the protoid laser; his gadgets fired off at random and his limbs stretched into odd shapes, including Mickey Mouse's head. He called for the Gadgetmobile to assist him, but the vehicle was sleeping outside. Baxter found the device on Gadget, which he then presented to the infuriated Chief Quimby; however, due to the $100,000 if damage to the inventions and the Mayor's own dislike of Gadget, Chief Quimby fired him anyway. By a week after Claw's escape, Gadget had gotten work as a valet at the museum, where the largest ruby in the world is on loan.

However, he failed to notice Claw and his minions when they casually walk out and mentioning stealing it, once again showing incompetence. Because G2 had also failed to stop Claw, she is deactivated. However, Gadget reactivates her and finds Brain is trying to tell him something. Using Baxter's bark translator, he learns Penny has been taken hostage by Claw and is planning to blast Riverton with a time-displacement ray to allow easy robbery of the Federal Reserve. Gadget then barely escapes it and heads back into town. Claw then escapes with Penny while his recruits hide in the reserve to draw in the Gadgets to allow his escape. Gadget tries activating his helicopter hat, but finds the glitches have gotten worse. G2 then swaps out his glitching chip with one of her own. He chases Claw, but is forced to use his scooter when his helicopter is damaged. Once Claw sees there's no getting rid of him, Gadget is forced to go after Penny, who has been strapped to an explosive cart. Freeing her, he is thrown by the explosion just as G2 and the Gadgetmobile arrive. Recovering, he beats Claw to the bridge and uses bubble gum to hold his truck in place.

However, while the minions get stuck in it, Claw escapes in a rocket. They revert the time-displacement ray, thanks to Penny realizing the egotistical password Claw had chosen for the machine. Gadget, G2, and Penny are thanked by the Mayor and Chief Quimby. Once G2 apologizes for her initial behavior towards him, Gadget finds she now likes him as well. They share a kiss that sends rockets blasting out from his hat. However, one of them lands in front of the Mayor and Chief Quimby, exploding. They angrily call to him. Gadgets Inspector Gadget is quipped with a unlimited amount of gadgets to help him fight against crime and Dr. Claw. However they are known to have numerous glitches.

Trivia When his Gadget Zip Line was used, Gadget was at his wits end; he said "Go Go Gadget something to get me over there." Gadget was previously live action in the Super Mario Bros. Super Show episode, Defective Gadgetry. He was played by Maurice LaMarche who would voice him in Inspector Gadget's Last Case and Inspector Gadget and the Gadgetinis. In the original animated series, Gadget had a completely different backstory: he was supposed to have been "gadgetized" by a dimwitted scientist after having been sent to the Hospital for a benign injury (he had fallen due to a banana peel). This was never stated in the series proper (though the inventor himself appeared once or twice, without much details); it was revealed in a tie-in novel. In the series, Gadget was useless, clueless, and incompetent; Penny and the dog Brain actually did all the work unbeknownst to Gadget, who always got the honor and believed that he'd thwarted the villains himself.

In the films, he is still clumsy but he does always succeed on his own. In the series, Gadget seemed to be noticeably older than his film counterpart. Gallery
