Trivia

After the bomb goes off at the end of the movie and you see parts of news footage and debris, you see a cinema that is showing the movie. In Dirty Work (1998) two men open a revenge-for-hire business, doing other people's dirty work. At the end of this film, Faraday does Lang's 'dirty work' by planting the bomb for him.

Goofs

The license plates in the state of Virginia did not have the same sequence of letters and numbers that they have in the movie. Usually, a Virginia license plate has three letters in a row, followed by either three or four numbers in a row, not mixed up like they are in the movie.
