    Plot Outline: A man raised into behaving like a dog, escapes from his captor to start a new life, who seeks to reclaim him because of his unnatural martial arts skills that are triggered when unleashed.
    Plot: A man treated like a dog and raised as a fighting machine his entire life, ends up in a coma and is taken in the care of good people, but his sinister owner is looking to retrieve his most prized possession: a non stop human weapon triggered by the collar leashed on his neck.

    Crazy Credits: We know about 1 Crazy Credits. One of them reads:
    After the credits we see stars and then we see Dr. Mark Powell through the lens of his telescope as he is looking for the star of K-Pax. He walks in his yard and the movie ends.

    Goofs: We know about 9 goofs. Here comes one of them:
    Revealing mistakes: When Bart is being beaten by thugs near the beginning of the film, you can see the padding on his stuntmans back.

    Trivia: There are 6 entries in the trivia list – like these:

    • The role of Bart was originally written for Albert Finney, who dropped out to do Big Fish (2003). Other actors who were offered the role were Anthony Hopkins, Michael Caine, and Brian Cox who had all turned it down.
    • Morgan Freemans character Sam was at first not blind at all. After hearing from a piano school for the blind (with a very high reputation, and where the scholars developed their hearing), Freeman had the idea of making his character blind because like this it is easier for Sam to “see” the child in Jet Lis character, and not the brutal killer.
    • The screenplay was written by Luc Besson exclusively for Jet Li.
