The initials "I.R.T." in the film's title stand for "Interborough Rapid Transit", which refers to a number of New York City's subway systems. Despite the title, however, there is only one scene where Chantel Mitchell is seen in the subway.
Leslie Harris's directorial debut, and the only project outside of commercials that she has directed as of 2023.
The train station Chantel is at during the beginning of the movie is not an I.R.T station. Rather, it is a station on the B.M.T. (Brooklyn Manhattan Transit), Franklin Avenue Line.
