The main character's full name is Evan Treborn. This is very close to "event reborn", which pretty much sums up the whole point of the movie.

Mistakes
After Evan beats Tommy to death on the college campus, it shows him kneeling over the body, and there is no blood on his collar. The shot changes to Kayleigh screaming, then back to Evan, in the same position, but now with blood splatter on his collar. He had already finished assaulting Tommy, so there shouldn't have been anymore blood spray. See more...

The main character's full name is Evan Treborn. This is very close to "event reborn", which pretty much sums up the whole point of the movie.
An alternate ending to the film has Evan going back to when he was in the womb and killing himself by squeezing the umbilical cord to save his friends from events he may cause. On the DVD Director's cut.
When Evan is a frat boy and sees his jacket on the ground, before Tommy shows up, the arms are folded exactly the way his arms are blown up later.
The prisoners in the prison scenes of the movie were real-life criminals. The directors decided to use 125 real criminals in the prison they were shooting at to add a level of realism. This is in the DVD special features.
