Tagline: What Does A Scanner See?  

Trivia: Robert Downey Jr. wrote most of his lines down on post-it notes and scattered them around the set so he could read off them while filming a scene. The rotoscoping team simply animated over the notes to remove them from the film during post-production.
 

Goofs: Continuity: While Bob/Fred is giving a speech at the NewPath building, he takes his arms off the Podium and turns his side to the crowd. In the next shot, he’s facing forward and his hands are on the podium again.
 

“In a totalitarian society in a near future, the undercover detective Bob Arctor is working with a small time group of drug users trying to reach the big distributors of a brain-damaging drug called Substance D. His assignment is promoted by the recovery center New Path Corporation, and when Bob begins to lose his own identity and have schizophrenic behavior, he is submitted to tests to check his mental conditions.
