Trivia: The parking lot in which Walter parks his car after arriving in New York–on East 11th Street between 1st and 2nd Avenue–was torn down shortly after the film was released.

Goofs: Continuity: When the student comes to Walter’s office to hand in his assignment, the first shot of the student standing in the doorway next to the bookshelves shows a book called “Numerical Recipes,” which is a well-known text in computer science and, thus, rather out-of-place in Walter’s office. In all subsequent shots the books are in keeping with an economics professor, suggesting a re-shoot of the first scene.
