Trivia: When we see the "regulators" riding over the hill on the way to kill Django and Schultz, if you look carefully at the right-center portion of screen, you can see one of the stuntmen fall off his horse and the horse continues to run down the hill without him. To make matters even worse, it appears the stuntman rolls right in front of another horse and gets trampled. (00:41:00)
Trivia: When Raoul makes an insulting comment about the Phantom in the bar, the Phantom calls him "insolent boy". When the Phantom appears to the audience for the first time in The Phantom of the Opera, "insolent boy" is his very first line in the song "The Mirror (Angel of Music)".
Trivia: Tom Cruise modeled his portrayal of Stacee Jaxx on a combination of Axl Rose from Guns N' Roses and Bret Michaels from Poison.
Trivia: Dakota Fanning only speaks one word of dialogue in the entire movie: "Pain."
Trivia: Rhythm and Hues won the Oscar for Best Visual Effects for this film. It was their third Oscar. But ironically, the company had to declare bankruptcy and lay-off half their staff just a few months before they won. And when the company was brought up during an acceptance speech for the film, the microphone was cut off. This led to widespread demonstrations and protests against the film and director Ang Lee by effects artists, as they are often marginalized, overworked and underpaid by studios.
Trivia: Nicole's car bears Georgia license plate CHN 320. This is the same plate number used on the General Lee in "the Dukes of Hazzard".
Trivia: Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark are the only Hunger Game tributes ever referred to by their first and last names.

Trivia: Director Steven Spielberg obtained permission from the museum that holds Abraham Lincoln's original pocket watch to record the sound of the watch for use in the movie.

Trivia: In 2013, this became the first film since 1989's Driving Miss Daisy to win the Academy Award for Best Picture without also earning a Best Director nomination.
Trivia: A point in the score from this, by Joe Kraemer, inspired The Batman's signature motif by Michael Giacchino. After the phone call between Jack and Helen when he warns her potentially not to trust her father, he's driving across a bridge and the music is almost identical to the "bom...bombom...bom" theme from The Batman.
Trivia: Brad lied to his friends about how his face got banged up, saying he was jumped by some kids outside of the "O." The "O" refers to the Original Hot Dog Place, which was located close to the University of Pitsburgh's Cathedral of Learning and was very popular among the students and others. It had been in operation for about 60 years but closed on 4/18/20 due to the Coronavirus pandemic. Pittsburgh native Mark Cuban (owner of the Dallas Mavericks) tried to buy the "O" but it was sold to a chain. (01:09:52)
Trivia: The car chase at the end involves a Ford and a Jaguar, an homage to the TV series where Reagan and Carter would drive a Ford Granada and the villain a classic Mk 2 Jaguar.
