Trivia: In the final scenes of the film, Noah Kross, played by Nicolas Cage, is wearing a mechanic's jacket. On the badge on his jacket is the name "Ray." Coincidentally, in his very next film called Looking Glass, Nicolas Cage plays a character named Ray. (01:21:55)

Continuity mistake: After Adam catches up to Noah and the other two and makes them stop, he starts walking towards them after they turn to face him. He's walking with his arm extended forward pointing his pistol at Noah. It cuts to a different angle from the side and suddenly he's walking with both arms swinging by his sides. (01:21:50)

Continuity mistake: After Adam Westinghouse catches up to the main characters, he fires up into the air and threatens to shoot them in the back if they don't stop. They turn to face Adam and Lucas is holding his BB gun in his left hand. The camera cuts to a different angle and suddenly Lucas is holding the BB gun with both hands but in a right handed hold. And he is also a little bit closer to Noah. (01:21:45)

Stupidity: After Noah shoots the Humanity Bureau vehicle following them, they continue down the road and stop at an old abandoned building that still has some sort of running water in it. Lucas has to go to the bathroom so his mother just lets him wander off by himself to find a restroom. She doesn't go with him or make sure he's fine. And this is in an area where they know that most of the residents are hostile, and they are being chased by the Humanity Bureau. Noah even calls her out on the stupidity of her letting Lucas go by himself and she claims it's because he needed to do number 2 and that Lucas insisted and he's not a little kid any more... Which doesn't excuse the stupidity of the action of letting an 11 year old go by himself to find a bathroom in such a situation. And ultimately it does lead to him getting found by Agent Westinghouse. (01:08:30)

Continuity mistake: Noah notices a Humanity Bureau vehicle following behind them while they are driving through the snow. He quickly stops their car and gets out to shoot at the vehicle as it passes by. You can see bullet holes in the glass of the windshield where the driver is as the car passes, but in the next shot as the vehicle starts to tumble over, the bullet holes are gone. (01:07:45)

Continuity mistake: When the Chief of Staff is opening the boxes of New Eden ash, he sets his knife down in the box close to the edge. As he picks up a child's tooth from the box and the camera changes angles, the knife is now closer to the other edge of the box. (00:40:35)

Lucas Weller: Mom, why would they scare us like that?
Rachel Weller: Because it's easier to build fear than build a wall. (01:20:05)

Schroder's Daughter: What's... what's this?
Lucas Weller: It's a rabbit's foot. You know... for luck.
Schroder's Daughter: Not for the rabbit,
Lucas Weller: I'm sure it was delicious. (00:52:10)

Chief Of Staff: Those we've deemed expendable need to believe there's a better life waiting for them. They need hope. And we can't allow that illusion to be destroyed. (00:40:05)

Noah Kross: Keep your eyes open.
Lucas Weller: For what?
Noah Kross: Anything that moves.
Lucas Weller: Noah... There's a big sweaty guy with a crutch.
Noah Kross: What's he doing?
Lucas Weller: Nothing... just watching.
Noah Kross: If he moves shoot him. (00:35:50)

Adam Westinghouse: Where's your Dogs Playing Poker?
Noah Kross: It's hanging in my bathroom. (00:08:55)

Noah Kross: You must be a productive citizen, it is the law! It is a crime to do otherwise. You're destitute, a burden to society. (00:05:30)

Noah Kross: The unlicensed sale of clean water is a felony. (00:04:05)

Continuity mistake: When the boy, Lucas, asks Noah what kind of gun he has, Noah is holding a piece of paper in each hand. In the shot from over his shoulder, his right hand is elevated holding the paper a couple inches up from the table. When it cuts to a view of Noah from the front, his right hand is lowered almost touching the table. (00:13:35)

Audio problem: After Adam and Noah finish talking about Chester Hills, the movie shows a few shots of the desolate land and bad conditions. One shot is a close up of a decaying dead cow, and in this shot you hear the loud sounds of flies and bugs swarming it as you'd expect on a dead animal. However it is just the added sound effect as there is not one single fly or insect visible. (00:09:35)
