    • Trivia
      Steven Spielberg: A guest at David's birthday party (wearing a Pre-Crime cap from Minority Report (2002). Spielberg and Tom Cruise were preparing to begin filming "Minority Report" at that time. In a returned favor, Cameron Crowe cameos in that film.
    • Goofs
      When David and Brian are in the car in the beginning you can clearly see that they are about one or two feet higher compared to the other cars, even though they are in the relatively low Mustang, revealing that the car is probably on a trailer rather than on the road.
    • Quotes

      Sofía: Every passing minute is another chance to turn it all around.

    • Crazy credits
      There are no opening credits for the film.
    • Alternate versions
      The 2015 Blu-Ray release includes an alternate ending version with a vastly expanded ending. While the events lead to the same conclusion, there are alternate takes and additional scenes (including the scene of David shooting the police officer).
    • Connections
      Edited into Scrubs: My Friend the Doctor (2003)

    I still say It's the Vanilla Sky at sunset these days
    This movie was so divisive. People either loved it or despised it. You can either accept the ending or you can't. The movie really makes you think and wonder, "what's going on?" You are not always supposed to know what is going on. A lot of people do not want to have to think too much lol. Great movie, good soundtrack. I love rarely when movies change the way you listen to a song. Good Vibrations by the Beach Boys came across in the moment as so eerie, I still think of that now when i hear it. It is a movie that is definitely worth watching.
