Trivia: The titles of several Dehlia Draycott movies are titles of "Nancy Drew" books.
Trivia: At about 1.48, while Mr. Brooks is reading a paper in a diner, the newspaper - USA Today - has only the headlines and first few lines written in English. The rest is in Latin. You can see it on the Bluray disc.
Trivia: In the scene when Ashley and Kale prepare for their plan of making observations on Mr. Turner and Ashley reads an article on the Internet, the picture of the dead woman in the computer screen comes from www.rotten.com and is an actual picture of a dead body. (00:39:20)
Trivia: When Mike joins the first foursome of girls on the bar's porch, he asks 'Jungle Julia' if she's the person on a billboard near the Big Kahuna Burger restaurant. This is a fictitious joint also featured in Pulp Fiction during the scene when Travolta and Jackson kill the college guys.
Trivia: The easter egg roll scene was filmed on Mount Vernon, with the White House added in the background.
Trivia: Banks and Reuben mention being the few alive on the strip that actually shook Frank Sinatra's hand. Frank Sinatra played Danny Ocean in the original Ocean's 11.
Trivia: The director and writer of this movie, Quentin Tarantino, also directed both Kill Bill movies. In the scene, where Abby is shopping, we can hear her cell phone ring, the ringtone is famous "Twisted Nerve" from Kill Bill.
Trivia: In something of a weird tradition, every main villain in the "Rush Hour" movies dies by falling. Griffin in the original falls to his death from the ceiling of the exhibition. Ricky Tan is kicked out of a casino window to his death in "Rush Hour 2." And Kenji allows himself to fall to his death from the Eiffel Tower in this movie.
Trivia: In the scene where Samuel L. Jackson is speaking to his daughter in her room after the soccer game, there is a photo on the bed of the mother. The photo is of Samuel L. Jackson's real wife, LaTanya Richardson-Jackson. (00:45:30)
Trivia: At one point, the opening scene of the clone Alice in the simulated mansion was going to be longer and include re-creations of more moments from the original film. This was to try and confuse audiences and possibly make them believe that somehow they were seeing the wrong film and create a sense of unease. However, it was deemed far too long, and was trimmed down.
Trivia: During the courtroom sequence, the judge is played by actress Judith Roberts, and her character's name is "Judge Shaw." Her appearance and name is a direct reference to director James Wan's previous film "Dead Silence", where Roberts had played a character named "Mary Shaw."
Trivia: Tilda Swinton won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Karen Crowder, even though she's only in the film for 18 minutes.
Trivia: When Swagger is recuperating from the makeshift operation, it's shown that he has a third nipple below the left nipple.
Trivia: AnnaSophia Robb has no dialogue until 85 minutes into the movie.
Trivia: The film was intended to be released theatrically in 2007. However, the film was pulled shortly before release without any explanation. While it was occasionally screened at festivals in the meantime, it wasn't given any sort-of official release until 2014, when it was briefly available as a "video on demand" title through cable provider "DirecTV." It was finally released on DVD and Blu-Ray in 2017 by specialty distributor Shout Factory... ten full years after it was originally supposed to come out.
Trivia: Kate Nelligan plays Sandra Bullock's mother in the movie, even though in real life she's only 14 years older than Bullock.
Suggested correction: Google her age and you will see this is incorrect.
Or you could have just submitted a word change pointing out the age difference is 14 years rather than 13. Hardly makes the entry wholly incorrect.
Trivia: The prop department had some fun during the making of the movie; you can see a lot of names of miscellaneous crew slipped in a few spots. There are boxes with case files scattered around the district attorney's offices; the ones behind Willy in his own office (People vs. Bonaventura - Tony Bonaventura being the property master, People vs. Morgenthau - Kramer Morgenthau being the director of photography) get quite a bit of screen time, but there are several others all over the office space, all carrying the name of a crew member. For instance, in a brief sequence when a dejected Willy walks up to Mona's desk to ask for her help before the third act, you can see unique ones. There's also a listing board with judges during the arraignment, and one with doctors when Willy is stopped by the hospital security; both of them are filled with names of production crew members.

Trivia: When Abe Dale comes into a room (possibly a church?) where the children's choir is singing, the song is Rush's Spirit Of Radio.
