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: 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.
Trivia: Immediately after the botched convenience store robbery, Tom Green tells Jason Lee that he has an idea to make money in the form of a "scam involving pizza delivery." This is surely a joke thrown in by Tom Green because of an attempted scam/skit on the Tom Green Show called Undercutters where he followed around pizza delivery guys with his own pizza in an attempt to undercut their price. Hilarious skit by the way.
Trivia: Samantha Morton plays Sarah Sullivan, the mother of Christy Sullivan (Sarah Bolger). In real life, Morton is only fourteen years older than Bolger .
