Faring less well was 1999's live-action "Inspector Gadget." Matthew Broderick stars as the "Robocop" for kiddies, a security guard who gets refitted with cybernetic, uh, gadgets and does battle with the evil Dr. Claw, played by Rupert Everett. The film ill-advisedly attempts to be logical and create a somewhat darker tone than the cartoon, resulting in a movie that appealed neither to fans of the original nor their parents.
