Movie Trivia/Goofs

The flickering of the lights in the background of the psychiatrist's office when Evan is being hypnotized after they blew up the mailbox was not a planned special effect - it was an actual short in the wiring on set. The directors thought it fit well with the scene and used that take in the final cut of the movie.
Movie Goof (continuity error): Near the end of the movie when Kayleigh walks by Evan and recognizes him, she stops and turns around. In the next shot, her back is facing Evan again and she turns around a second time.
All of the prison scenes were filmed in a real prison (Washington State) with real prisoners.
Movie Goof (audio/visual unsynchronized): When Evan is in the wheelchair and talks to Kayleigh, his face is desaturated (see commentary track Director's Cut DVD). The effect is visible when people pass behind Evan. Their skin-tone changes when they walk through that desaturated part of the image.
