Trivia: Originally, director M. Night Shyamalan wanted Joaquin Phoenix to play the role of Kevin Wendell Crumb, as they had previously worked together on the film "Signs." Phoenix and the studio were unable to reach a deal, however.

Trivia: Spoilers. Kevin is seen wearing a purple sweater in one scene, while Dr. Fletcher at one point wears a green scarf and Casey has a green undershirt on in the final sequence. This is a very subtle allusion to the film "Unbreakable", to which this serves as a spin-off/sequel. In that film, the villainous character "Mr. Glass" often wears purple, while the hero of the film, David Dunn, wears green in a number of scenes. Hence, this film's villain is also depicted wearing purple, while its heroes wear green. Director M. Night Shyamalan often uses colors to subtly allude to themes, moods or character motivations in his films.

Continuity mistake: The subject of the email from Barry S. first reads "we need you", but after opening it reads "RE: No subject" (00:11:00)

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: If no subject is given the first sentence of the E-mail will be displayed instead. RE: No Subject means it's a reply to an earlier E-mail that also lacked a subject.

Question: What happened to him as a little boy when he was hunting with his Father and Uncle? Was he sexually molested?

Answer: If you are referring to the girl Casey, then yes, the movie is implying that her uncle had been molesting her.

Duh! My mistake! It looked like a little boy and I guess I wasn't listening very well. However, the little kid's mother who was abusive about cleaning belonged to the guy with multiple personalities, yes?

Correct, and they expand more on that in the next film, "Glass."
