Visible crew/equipment: In the scene where Greg is leaving a message on his parents answer machine about going to their house in the Byrnes' motor home, you can see that it is just Stiller standing in front of a blue screen, obviously they wanted to add the scene in after shooting had finished. (00:11:55)

Visible crew/equipment: As they start out on the trip, when they are showing Jack & Greg up front, you can see in the window right behind Greg a reflection of two crew members wearing sunglasses. They stay in frame for about 5 seconds. (00:13:21 - 00:13:26)

Luna Negra

Visible crew/equipment: After Jack says, "Only the captain gets to make announcements, Greg," in the next shot of Greg the boom mic and pole are nicely visible over Jack's reflection in the window, to Greg's right. There are two other shots of Greg at this angle - one previous and one following, but unfortunately the equipment is not seen. (00:13:25)

Visible crew/equipment: When Pam and Greg walk to the RV and open its door, in the next shot just as Moses chases Jinxy, behind Jack, Roz and Dina, the reflection of a hunched over crew member, wearing a red shirt, is visible.

Visible crew/equipment: When they are playing football, they show a close up of Jack's face after Dina makes a touchdown and she and Bernie celebrate. In the close up of Jack's face and sunglasses, in his left eye, you can see the reflection of a square camera light. This shows up again right as Jack is about to be tackled by Bernie, this time in his right eye. It follows Jack as he rises in the air to catch the ball. (00:52:15 - 00:54:45)

Luna Negra

Trivia: In the scene where the three men are in jail towards the end of the movie, the jailer that comes to let them out (but is stopped by Ben Stiller) actually plays a cop in the Comedy Central show "Reno 9-1-1". In fact, he may even be wearing the exact uniform he wears in the series. Also, the sheriff deputy who comes off the motorhome yelling "Look, he has rubber boobie!" is also a cop on Reno 9-1-1.

More trivia for Meet the Fockers

Question: How come Gaylord 'admits' to being Jorge's father after being injected with the truth serum? We find out later that Jorge's actual father was the baseball player, so why would Gaylord lie about being the father - especially after being injected with truth serum?.

Answer: Truth serum doesn't automatically make you speak the absolute truth - all it can do is make you say what you believe to be the truth. If Gaylord believed himself to be Jorge's father, then he would say that under the truth serum, even if it ultimately turned out not to be the case.

Tailkinker

Gaylord (Greg) was also drunk when he went on his monologue of spilling "secrets" about others in the room.
