• Frances McDormand utters the phrase "For Pete's sake!" while in her car surrounded by CIA agents. She utters the same phrase in Fargo while interviewing William H. Macy's character.
• Movie Goof (incorrectly regarded as a mistake): Mr. Krapotkin asks, about the CD, "PC or Mac"? Most data CD formats are readable by either type of computer, however the character could be asking in case the data is in a format readable only on one type of machine, e.g. a word processor package that exists only for the Mac.
• Movie Goof (continuity error): SPOILER: After the shooting, Harry picks his gun up in his right hand. As he stands up, he transfers it to his left hand. In the immediate reverse shot, he is still holding the gun in his right hand. Also, the position of his left hand (in a two-handed grip) changes between shots.
• According to costume designer Mary Zophres, even cheap suits look good on Brad Pitt. Thus, for the scene where his character Chad wears a cheap suit, she had to tailor a suit with a purposefully bad and ill-fitting cut and a horrid-looking wool tie.
