Trivia: The nurse in the doctor's office when Phil goes in to test his sperm is also in the scene as an employee when the store sees on the TV that Holden has died.
Trivia: After Charlie (Morgan Freeman) is attacked at the bar, Claire (Ashley Judd) suggests that he go to the hospital to check on his ribs. In Kiss the Girls (1997), Judd's character suggested the exact same thing to Freeman's. Both times he refused.
Trivia: At the end of the film you see two gravestones, "Priest" Vallon and William Cutting. Behind them is a river, with a view of lower Manhattan after that. You see a bridge being built, and the city growing and changing. The two men had to have been buried in Brooklyn, rather than Manhattan for this view.
Trivia: When the girls arrive at the beach at the beginning of the movie, they observe somebody who's getting worked by a HUGE wave. As he gets out of the water, they comment on him "he hit the reef" - "that's gotta hurt". This was not fake: The guy who did this REALLY got hurt that way and almost lost his eyeball.
Trivia: When this film was nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay at the 75th Academy Awards, the fictitious Donald Kaufman was nominated. This was the first time an Academy Award nomination was given to a fictional character.
Trivia: Adam Sandler's wife, Jackie Titone, was the voice of Jennifer.
Trivia: The character who plays Capt Ross is the son of Coronation street's Ken Barlow a.k.a William Roache.
Trivia: Rupert Everett ad-libbed two scenes: the one in which he kisses Colin Firth on the cheek, and the one where he heartily slaps Colin Firth on the bottom. The director, Oliver Parks, thought Firth's startled reactions were so funny that he kept both in the film.
Trivia: This is the first film since A Perfect World (1993) in which Clint Eastwood has carried a gun.
Trivia: I was delighted to notice that William Hurt's character works in a T.V. station - you will see that during one of his phone conversations with Samuel Jackson. Anyone remember Broadcast News?
Trivia: There is something red in every scene.
Trivia: The poem Lucy reads to Ben at the campsite are lyrics to the Britney Spears' song, "I'm Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman."
Suggested correction: I'm not really sure this would count as trivia considering how obvious it is. Ben even turns it into the song at the end of the movie.
Trivia: Although Brian Cox and Dennis Quaid play father and son in this film, Cox is only eight years older than Quaid.
Trivia: When Ben looks at the plaque which has "Employee of the month" showing him winning many times, if you look at the more wide shot of the plaque you can see on the month of February the name "Justin Lin", the director, producer and Writer of Better Luck Tomorrow.
Trivia: Samantha Morton plays Sarah Sullivan, the mother of Christy Sullivan (Sarah Bolger). In real life, Morton is only fourteen years older than Bolger .
Trivia: When "Auto Focus" debuted, Bob Crane's son, Scotty Crane, complained loudly that the film was completely inaccurate and misleading. Scotty said that, while his father had been a lifelong sex-addict who recorded and photographed sex acts as far back as 1956, he was not a church-goer (as depicted in the film), he never tried S&M (as depicted in the film), and that he only started socializing with John Henry Carpenter in 1975, long after the Hogan's Heroes TV series ended, just 3 years before the unsolved murder that took Bob Crane's life. The film jumbles all of these events out of chronological order, omitting factual events while fabricating pure fantasy events for no other reason than to sensationalize Crane's troubled life and death.
Trivia: The officer speaking French is true to historical facts: it was mainly the French Foreign Legion fighting in Indochina at the time. However, the troops were predominantly of German origin (ex Wehrmacht and SS soldiers) and there is no detectable German accent in their French. True, this could be a fully French unit, thus no mistake. In live movies and interviews from the time, German accents in French are common.
Trivia: This film features five stars of Joss Whedon's "Buffyverse": writer/director/star Amber Benson (Tara Maclay), James Marsters (Spike), Andy Hallett (Lorne), Jeff Rickets (Watcher's Council member), and David Fury (producer/writer/occasional cameos). Emma Caulfield (Anya) also filmed scenes, but they were accidentally taped over and never re-shot, while Tressa DiFiglia is the ex-wife of Nicholas Brendon (Xander Harris).
Trivia: Gina McKee, who plays the mother of Jacqueline McKenzie and Matthew Settle in this film, is, in reality, only three years older than McKenzie and five years older than Settle.
