Trivia: Robert Fiveson, the producer of the 1979 B movie "Parts: The Clonus Horror" sued Dreamworks, Warner Brothers, Michael Bay and the producers of "The Island", citing over ninety similarities between the films. Despite the fact that he was a long forgotten producer of low budget films and he was up against the biggest names in Hollywood, he settled out of court for an undisclosed "seven figure sum" and 15% of the net profits of "The Island." Since it cost £126,000,000 plus advertising and netted just £81,000,000, I hope he got his seven figure sum.
Trivia: Jordan Two Delta (Scarlett Johansson) sees a poster ad and commercial for Calvin Klein featuring her sponsor "Sarah Jordan". They are really things Scarlett did for CK before she made the movie.
Trivia: Tom Lincoln, Lincoln Six Echo's sponsor, likes custom sport motorcycles and is from Scotland. These character traits were taken from Ewan McGregor himself.
Trivia: In the scene where Lincoln and Jordan ask a man for an information directory, the futuristic red Lexus from Minority Report is parked next to them.
Trivia: The train wheels on the back of the lorry came from the director driving behind such a lorry on the freeway and thought it would make a great action scene, however when shooting started they found that train wheels do not bounce, so had to make them bounce to make it more exciting.
Chosen answer: It appears to be some sort of cable - it can be seen leading to the bracelet in the shot from above the bed immediately prior to the one where Lincoln unplugs it. Exactly what it does is never revealed, but it seems likely to be some sort of monitoring system, keeping an eye on Lincoln's health through sensors in the bracelet.
