Wouldn't hurt for him to say: "My PROSTHETIC Leg!" Would be tragically ironic if the guy trying to save him got a heart attack while handling his emotion/adrenaline.

That said though, pretty cool to see that's not stopping him motocrossing!

People needs to see the UK's weekly "The Last Leg" show, those guys are hilarious.

Looks cool . Wonder how usable it is in comparison to other prosthetics? The weight alone , i assume, would be an issue.

...but maybe that's not the point.

"The only limitation that I had on my first prosthetic is that I only had one Lego set."

Everything about this is awesome, in so many ways!

Are you all thinking what I'm thinking? If so, shame on you.

Very very cool prosthetic though.

"You're still white aren't you?"

Never any pleasing the PC lefty crowd is there. They wont be happy until the Doctor is a middle age, black, transgender, midget woman with a prosthetic leg and suffers from aspergers.

Yeah, I can't imagine we would be offended if the situation were reversed, like if the Japanese film industry cast Japanese actors in an adaptation of Shakespeare, that would be expected.

Plus, it's difficult to make the case that Motoko even has a race any more. She is the brain of a Japanese woman in a prosthetic body. One she didn't choose to look Japanese, rather a sort of ostentatious athlete/sex doll look with red eyes and blue hair. Basically no one looks like that, but Scarlet Johnson pulls it off as well as anyone could.

Now if they had gone with the ARISE timeline, an Asian actress would embody that incarnation perfectly.

@1:17 it sort of looks like he has a brace or maybe even a prosthetic leg.

I instantly pictured that the lion ate his leg once but they patched up the relationship, forgave each other and maybe the 4 weiner dogs are just a little safety buffer in case?

Perhaps I misunderstood, but I thought it was simply transmitting electricity, not creating it. I was thinking it would work as a sensor where, when it's stretched passed the limit, it will no longer have continuity and could sound an alert.
If I'm wrong and it does MAKE voltage, then yes, synthetic muscles for anything really, not just prosthetics, but androids, underwater machines, etc.

Anything that can create voltage through movement should be able to create movement through voltage, unless it's a chemical process. I'm thinking of synthetic muscles for prosthetics.

That's pretty endearing how oblivious all of them are to the issue initially.

The more I think about it, Scarlett Johansson does have qualities that match the character well. In the Arise series you see that the major once had a much more sensible body prosthetic that was physically more like an average Japanese woman. And you get the sense that the choice of her new body was an ostentatious and personal one. She didn't need to be tall, statuesque and impractically sexy, but that's the persona she choose.

Check out the only still from the movie and tell me she's not physically pretty close, race aside.

While they sculpt scifi prosthetic makeup.

It really brings home how differently different minds work... I could never come close to pulling off the planning and detail work needed to put these effects together, whether the CG or the makeup + prosthetics... but good God, 'Finsih him'? Black Scoprian? What in the actual fuck.
