The opening credits are an obvious spoof of Maurice Binder's designs for the James Bond series.

The Tag Victim Profiles contained a field titled "Alias". The only legible alias was Susan's which was Sapphire. Of the remaining profiles that showed the field the only legible part was "the", thus Susan had the only alias without "the" in it. Susan's Tag Victim Profile shown in the opening credits is different to the one used in the movie itself, including the alias field which reads "Mystery Woman", and the weight field which reads "svelte".

Goofs
Towards the end of the movie in the Campus Security office it is revealed that five students are missing. The missing person report for the last person (Nancy McCauley) is being filled out during Alex's visit. Therefore, there should be four files in the missing person folder that Alex flips through, yet there are only three; Swanson, Holmes, and Wallace. Moreover, when Susan discovers the bodies in Gersh's closet there are only three instead of five.

Carpenter claims the progress chart is confidential yet he keeps it in the common room with public access that is shared by 3 student groups instead of his office.

In the second scene Susan ducks as Schooster and Charlie shoot at her thus they shoot and kill one another. Yet on Carpenter's progress chart "S. Swayse" (note the misspelling with an S in place of the Z) is credited with J. Schooster's kill.
