Continuity mistake: When Barry arrives at work and talks to his boss, the furniture and people around change all the time. Sometimes there's a white column on the left; others, there's a shelf next to it; yet others it vanishes and there's a box and a coat rack. Also, the guy on the right is sitting closer or further away randomly, despite the angle on Barry and his boss being always the same.

Trivia: SPOILER: Nicolas Cage has a cameo in this film as an alternate version of Superman fighting a giant spider. This is a nod to the cancelled film "Superman Lives", which would have starred Cage and been directed by Tim Burton. The giant spider was part of the script at the insistence of producer Jon Peters, who finally got to make use of the idea in Wild Wild West.
