Also Cameron ripped off Asimov with a reference to the Laws of Robotics when Bishop says “That could never happen now with our behavioral inhibitors. It is impossible for me to harm or by omission of action, allow to be harmed, a human being.”

I should add that these remarks should not be taken as denouncing Cameron. I actually appreciate the fact that he has read and pays homage to the classics of SF. But he should have permission or give credit. Maybe he intended these as Easter Eggs for true fans. I don’t know. But it always rubbed me a bit wrong that he didn’t provide an indication of credit in these references.
