• CAMEO(Jonathan Safran Foer, the author of the novel on which the movie is based): appears as the leaf blower at the beginning of the film.
• Movie Goof (audio/visual unsynchronized): When the trio stops at the construction site, the subtitles say that the grandfather tells Alex to leave Jonathan in the car. However, in Russian, he actually says to take Jonathan with him.
• Movie Goof (continuity error): When the three run out of gas and camp outdoors, Jonathan briefly holds the photo of his grandfather and Augustine with both hands. Between shots, his hands are in different positions.
• Movie Goof (incorrectly regarded as a mistake): When Alex's grandfather asks Alex and Jonathan to leave, Jonathan immediately leaves, even though Alex has not translated the request into English. This, however, was most likely a creative choice to show the power and emotion of Alex's grandfather's words.
