Early in the movie when Robin Williams drives towards the tunnel where the accident happens, you can clearly see the shadow of the camera crane on the left side. See more...

"What dreams may come" is from the Shakespeare play Hamlet. It is in his "To Be or Not To Be" soliloquy: "For in that sleep of death what dreams may come/When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,/Must give us pause: there's the respect/That makes calamity of so long life." See more...

When Chris Neilson is in the tunnel checking on the driver of the Porsche, the next scene you see the same Porsche fly through the air, and hit Chris. Then in the scene immediately after that you see Chris on a stretcher, and you can see only one Porsche. [It's not the same Porsche, the first is silver or light blue, and the second is white. Additionally, at no time after Chris is hit does the camera pan back high enough to show both vehicles. There is a time lapse, as seen by the fact that the paramedics have arrived, and the driver of the silver Porsche is still being cut out of the car while Chris is being attended to and placed in the stretcher. During the time lapse, it is more than possible that the cars have been moved apart to allow for the emergency personnel to do their work more freely.]

In one of the memories Robin Williams has of his wife he is laying on the ground and she is sitting on top of him with leaves in her hair. The camera cuts to his point to view and when it switches back to being of his wife the leaves in her hair are gone. [Memory/dream sequences are not subject to this kind of mistake, as it is all taking place in the character's mind anyways. He can remember it any way he wants.]

The name 'Christopher' is a reference to 'Christ's offer' to save us from being condemned to hell. [Not true. The name comes from Greek, "christo-phoros", meaning "he who carries Christ". In the legend, Offero carried baby Jesus over a river and was rewarded with sainthood (patron saint of travellers) and his new name. Thus, the name does not reflect Christ sacrificing himself, but others sacrificing themselves for Christ.]
