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: When Swagger is recuperating from the makeshift operation, it's shown that he has a third nipple below the left nipple.
Trivia: In the scene where Adam Sandler and Kevin James ask each other questions in preparation for the trail, they ask each other when their birthdays are. The birth dates they state are the actors' real-life birthdays. Adam Sandler 9th September, Kevin James 26th April.
Trivia: Early on in the movie, when Ian Curtis (played by Sam Riley) enters his parents living room, there is a picture of the real Ian Curtis as a boy on the mantelpiece.
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: AnnaSophia Robb has no dialogue until 85 minutes into the movie.
Trivia: The bust in the hall way of the school has a similarity to Alistar Sim, who played the Fritton sister (headmistress) and brother in the original films.
Trivia: Though he plays a pop-star musician, Hugh Grant has stated that he does not listen to music or own any CDs.
Trivia: Angelina Jolie was pregnant with her daughter Shiloh when she portrayed Mariane Pearl, who was pregnant with her son Adam during the events of the movie.
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: When Chuck throws a flaming stick at Danny's party, you can hear the Wilhelm scream.
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: Steve Burns (Otto Granberry) has a drawing of a blue Pawprint in a piece of paper on his desk as a reference to Blue's Clues, the TV show he starred in.
Trivia: Dianne Wiest (born 1948), who played Dan Burns' mother, Nora, is only fourteen years older than Steve Carell (born 1962).
Trivia: The movie was originally scheduled to be released in theaters in October, 2007. Its trailer was even attached to several films. However, the studio pulled its release at the last moment with no explanation. It was finally released direct-to-video with little advertisements or notice two years later. Ironically, despite being dumped onto home-video with little fanfare, the film garnered excellent reviews and won several awards, and built enough of an audience through word-of-mouth alone that director Michael Dougherty confirmed a sequel will be made.
Trivia: The large guy who says the town should have rather kidnapped the blacksmith from "Army of Darkness", is played by Timothy Patrick Quill, who also played the blacksmith in question.
