• In the scene that Nathaniel Ayers and Steve Lopez attend a rehearsal concert, all the seats are covered with canvas. This was not cinematic imagery; this is actually done in some concert halls during rehearsals to reflect a more accurate sound as if the seats were being occupied.
• Movie Goof (continuity error): When Lopez pulls over in the tunnel after spotting Ayers, his car blocks the right lane. In subsequent shots, cars are seen in the background cruising through that very same lane, one even merges into it, even though Lopez's car is blocking it just a few yards ahead.
• CAMEO(Nathaniel Ayers, Jr.): The subject of the movie is himself seen in the front row of the concert, during the last scene of the movie.
• Originally planned for a November 2008 release date, the film was held back due to Paramount's tightening of the number of films it releases per year and released late April of 2009. The trailer continued to run in theaters with November as the release date.
