• Movie Goof (anachronisms): The Sun Records pressing of Jerry Lee Lewis's "Real Wild Child," played several times in the movie, could not have existed in 1962. Lewis did record the song for Sun, but in the United Kingdom and the British Commonwealth (which includes Australia), Sun records were released on the Decca label under license from the U.S.-based Sun company. The record could not be an American import, either, because it has a small spindle hole instead of the large hole on all American 45s of the period.
• Eric Bana stated in an interview that during filming, he remembered much of his own family's struggles and as a result, it felt a bit like his own history.
• In Roman mythology, Romulus was left in the wilderness with his brother, and went on to found the city of Rome.
• Many of the cast members have close to the same origins as their characters. Eric Bana, Franka Potente, and Marton Csokas all have large family ties to Europe.
