Trivia and Facts
- While investigating Doyle’s apartment about 42 minutes into the film, one of the FBI agents appears to use a Tascam DR-100 Portable Digital Recorder as a scanning device. This is not a real scanning device but a portable digital recorder.
- A goof in the film is that wedding bands are shown to be magnetic. However, in reality, wedding bands are typically made of gold or titanium, which are not magnetic materials. Only those made of nickel or steel/steel alloy would be magnetic.
