On his own computer, Sean looks up his son’s file, which states the boy died immediately and his date of death was September 9th, 1991. When Eve and Castor (as Sean Archer) are at the cemetery, the date of death on the headstone is September 24th, 1991. See more...
The names Castor and Pollux Troy are taken from the constellation Gemini. In Roman mythology the Gemini which is Latin for "twins", Castor and Pollux, are the twin sons of Leda and the brothers of Helen of Troy and Clytemnestra. According to the myth the twins had the same mother, but different fathers. While Pollux was immortal, Castor was mortal. When Castor died, Pollux asked Zeus to keep them together and so they were transformed into the Gemini constellation. See more...

To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.
In the scene where Archer is receiving Troy's face, we see the laser cutting the outlines of his face. There seems to be nothing done to disconnect the nerves and skin from his eyelids, nose, and so forth, however the mask lifts the face cleanly away from his head. [You don't see the whole procedure, as it would take many, many hours and have to go very slow and precise, there just isn't enough time to show the procedure.]
Troy is being kept alive by life support machines. In the operating theatre the machines are gone so shouldn't he be dead? And if he recovered enough to not be on the machines why did they go ahead with their plan? [The doctors assured the agents that Troy was "a turnip" and that he would not wake up ever again. Obviously, the doctors were wrong. The feds, however, would have to rely on what the doctors said, especially since they were in such a difficult situation.]

It makes no sense that Archer's wife takes a risky blood sample from Troy, when it would have been easier to simply take some from the real Archer, who enters the house bleeding. [It makes perfect sense. She's only got Archer's word on what Troy's bloodtype is, so taking a sample from him is hardly likely to convince her - he may have the same bloodtype as her husband, but so do millions of other people. However, she knows what Archer's bloodtype is, so, if she takes a sample from the man claiming to be her husband and it's not correct, then that's conclusive evidence that he's not who he says he is.]

The secret supermax high security prison, the bad guys brother is allowed to leave why? just on the say so of an FBI agent. For a facility like this to remain secret, a prisoner would have to remain for life. NO-ONE would or could EVER be released for any reason, its very existence was as much a secret as its location. In effect they would be dead to the outside world. [He didn't just "say so." Caster (as Archer) cut Pollux Troy a deal. In trade for his release, Pollux was going to tell the location of the bomb, so Caster could become the hero (as Archer). I think that giving the location of a bomb that will destroy L.A. is more important than a prison.]
When Castor is in John Travolta's body, he goes "home" and makes a romantic dinner for his wife - the camera pans across the table, laden with a lot of things (spaghetti and meatballs, two lobsters). The wife is thrilled. Later on, when Nicolas Cage (John Travolta) is in a scene with the wife at the hospital, trying to convince her that he is her husband inside, he tells a touching story about their first date and how he took her out for surf and turf and didn't know she was a vegetarian, and she only ate bread, and she broke her tooth. Blah, blah, blah - it was very touching. Wouldn't the wife have noticed something was wrong if her "husband" made her a meal featuring lobsters and meatballs? [They're artichokes, not meatballs - the lobsters are still out of place, unless she eats fish]. [Many young vegetarians grow out of that phase and do once again eat meat as older adults.]
At one point the hero (John Travolta at that time) learns that the bomb will go off on the 18th. We then learn that he's got 6 days to pry the information from Pollux Troy. We then flash to the bomb, and it shows 216+ hours. Unless we've gone to 36-hour days, something's wrong. [The agent says that John Travolta has 6 days to get the information, so they can take him out of that prison and learn the location of the bomb from him. The Extra few days will probably be used for evecuating the entire area, and trying to defuse the bomb. They just want to have all the time they can possibly get, so they give him 6 days to get the info.]
