Trivia
When Lucy is in Times Square, over her right shoulder is a billboard for The Family (2013), which is the film director Luc Besson made prior to this film.

Luc Besson once called this film as "one part Leon, one part Inception and one part 2001: A Space Odyssey". A lot of shots in the film were mirrored after these three films.

In an interview on 08/03/2014 (evening news on France 2), Luc Besson said that this project took 10 years to become a reality. Also, he admitted that he knew that some scientific assumptions were erroneous, e.g. that humans use only 10% of their brain. Nonetheless, he said that "[such assumption] would be a great start for a sci-fi movie".

Goofs
When Lucy uses her power to drop the rounds from Pierre's pistol, there are firing pin marks on the primers of the rounds, indicating that there are spent cases that have already been fired then had fake bullets inserted into them.
Share this
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.
Share this
When Lucy removes the bag from inside the Italian mule, her hands are covered in blood but they don't leave a stain on the door's glass after she pushes it open.

Quotes
Lucy: [At the end, voice over] Life was given to us a billion years ago. Now you know what you can do with it.

Professor Norman: We humans are more concerned with having than with being.

Lucy: Ignorance brings chaos, not knowledge.

Faq
Q
Is the 10% theory true?
A
"Absolutely not. There is no evidence that humans only use 10% of their brain and that it can be increased. Scientists point out that if it were then some brain damage would have little effect or only affect certain functions, but even minor damage has profound effects. Read this page for more."
