Goofs

When Summer says that their relationship is like that of Sid Vicious and Nancy Spungen, Tom says that Sid stabbed Nancy seven times. He only stabbed her once.

Share this

During Millie's engagement party Tom lifts his wine glass to drink, but just before the glass reaches his mouth the scene cuts to another angle and his hand is suddenly by his waist again and he lifts the glass to drink again.

For someone who is supposedly a trained architect, Tom's drawings display an odd discrepancy in perspective. Perspective issues are a beginner mistake an architect would have been trained to avoid during the first semester in architecture school.

Faq

Q

Why is the number 500 in parentheses in the title?

A

In the movie 500 is a countdown. The film charts the course of Summer and Tom's relationship and gives us various days in parentheses for different scenes. Co-writer Scott Neustadter has stated that it is an homage to 80's pop songs that were titled this way. i.e. "You Make My Dreams (Come True)".

Q

Is a sequel planned for the movie?

A

No. There has not been any announcements regarding a sequel being planned for the movie.

Q

What are the 500 days?

A

Day 500 is stated to be Wednesday May 23rd, and that date was a Wednesday in 2007. So day 1 is January 8th, 2006.
