Jack: On a case-by-case basis.

Jack: Sure.
Annie: Welcome to earth.
- The movie was originally being developed by Curtis Hanson.
- When Kate is talking about how their lives changed, she says, "When you stepped in at the store" referring to when Big Ed had the heart attack, but it also refers to when Jack intervened with Cash at the convenience store, and his life changed.
- At the beginning of the movie, Nicolas Cage sings "La donna è mobile" from Rigoletto Opera by 'Giueseppe Verdi'.
- In the scene where Kate is lying in the bed and Jack is asking her to remember him no matter what, Kate is reading a book called 'Being There' by Jerzy Kosinski. The book is barely seen in the screen but it has a connection. It is the story of Chauncey Gardiner, an enigmatic but distinguished man who emerges from nowhere to become an heir to the throne of a Wall Street tycoon. Similar to the storyline of Jack at that moment, as he tries to move into the investment firm from a tire salesman job.
- At one time Nicolas Cage actually owned the Ferrari used in the film. He sold it about a year before filming began.
