This is a fast-paced thriller set in a world that is run by the mob, street gangs, drug addicts, and corrupt cops. Lucy (Scarlett Johansson), a woman living in Taipei, Taiwan, is forced to work as a drug mule for the mob.
The drug implanted in her body inadvertently leaks into her system, changing her into a superhuman. She can absorb knowledge instantaneously, is able to move objects with her mind, and can't feel pain and other discomfort. With extraordinary power, she turns the tables on the mob, wreaking revenge against them and decimating them at the very core.
Revealing Mistakes When Lucy rolls up the wall and ceiling of the prison cell as if unaffected by gravity, her t-shirt is hanging in a different direction in each shot - towards the wall or ceiling - revealing the use of a rotating stage.
Miscellaneous When Lucy sees her cells disintegrating she locks herself inside an airplane lavatory and all the airplane staff is pleading her to open the door of the lavatory. Any flight attendant would know that the lavatory can be opened from the outside in a few seconds without much ado.
Miscellaneous In the flashback scene the Native Americans shown in New York City were Plains Indians not native to NY. Also they were riding horses which are not native to the New World, but introduced by Europeans.
Continuity When Lucy removes the bag from inside the German mule, her hands are covered in blood but they don't leave a stain on the door's glass after she pushes it open.
Factual Mistake The major premise of this movie - that humans only use a small percentage of our brains - is a fallacy.
Factual Mistake When Lucy's image appears on the HDTV in the hotel room, it has visible scan lines, which HDTV does not have. Also, the lines change apparent size/width from shot to shot.
Trivia:
Angelina Jolie was originally cast as the lead, but dropped out. She was replaced by Scarlett Johansson.
This is the first R rated film to be partially shot with IMAX cameras.
This movie was primarily shot at locations in Taipei, Paris and New York City.
