Trivia: The "smoking man" at the Shangri-La tower who bumps into Sam is the film's director, Terry Gilliam.
Trivia: Tuttle's comment about needing to fill out a '27B/6' form, just to turn on a kitchen faucet, is a subtle reference to author George Orwell, writer of '1984' (which Brazil is a blatant parody of). While working on his novels, Orwell lived in flat 6 at 27B Canonbury Square.
Trivia: Robert De Niro insisted on 25 to 30 takes for his character.
Visible crew/equipment: In the scene where Lowry is in his new office in Information Retrieval and discovers that he shares a desk with Harvey Lime next door, watch as the camera dollies after Sam into Lime's office: first the camera wobbles as it grazes the door, then later in the scene as the camera moves in further, it bumps audibly to a halt against the edge of the desk, complete with a muffled exclamation by the camera operator.
Mr. Warrenn: What is this mess? An empty desk is an efficient desk.
