Despite child prodigy Chris being wired up as the central server or proxy for all drone activity, the head of Sentre, Ethan Skate, is still able to wage war with his security team using drones versus the protagonist army of Michelle's friends (human and benevolent robots). Chris could've rejected the neural uplink pass-thru based on personal and moral bias.

Several times throughout the movie, the Marshall drops his gun and the characters never try to grab it and use it against him. The most prominent of these examples are when they manage to temporarily trap the Marshall in a metal claw, and instead of picking up his gun off the floor and shooting his drone, they decide to run, even though shooting the drone would solve the entire problem. However, it is more than possible (and likely) that the weapon is linked somehow to its robot owner - there have been examples of weapons developed in the past ten years in real life that respond only to an authorised person's fingerprint, for example.
The final scene is set to a piano rendition of Oasis's "Wonderwall". The movie is set in 1994, and the song wasn't released until a year later.
