• Devon Sawa was offered the role of Young Michael Sullivan, but passed because he was in production with Wild America.
• Movie Goof (anachronisms): A train of R40M/R42 subway cars is seen on Williamsburg Bridge. However they are in their rebuilt configuration being rebuilt in 1988. In 1981 they still were in original blue and silver exteriors.
• Movie Goof (continuity error): When the hot dog wagon starts to fall down the subway, the umbrella stays on the stairs. Then we see it being crushed by the wagon. Then it's back on the stairs again.
• Movie Goof (factual errors): Defense Attorney Danny Snyder (Dustin Hoffman) should have moved for a "motion for judgment of acquittal," after the state/prosecution rested their case. No lawyer would fail to make this motion because if it is granted the defense does not have to put on a case since the State failed to meet it's burden of proof during their case in chief. Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure Rule 29 (a) states "after the government closes its evidence or after the close of all the evidence, the court on the defendant's motion must enter a judgment of acquittal of any offense for which the evidence is insufficient to sustain a conviction." New York follows this Federal Rule as discussed in U.S. v. Irving, 682 F.Supp.2d 243 E.D.N.Y.(2010).
