Garden State

Other mistake: When Largeman is at the restaurant, the first place you see him is in the kitchen. When he exits the kitchen, if you look straight ahead, you can see some doors that open up to reveal the actual kitchen with waiters and cooks. The kitchen we see Largeman in was built as part of the set, and the kitchen we see straight ahead is the actual restaurant's kitchen. This is talked about on the commentary with Zach Braff and the other crew members.

Revealing mistake: In the beginning of the movie, there is a shot of Largeman opening a medicine cabinet. If you look on the mirror as he opens it, you can see the cut out of where the camera is hidden in the wall. This is pointed out by Braff in the commentary.

Sam: This is your one opportunity to do something that no one has ever done before and that no one will copy throughout human existence. And if nothing else, you will be remembered as the one guy who ever did this. This one thing.

Trivia: Much of the scene with Largeman and the doctor in his office was ad libbed by Ron Leibman. Liebman made up patting Braff on the knee and saying "Hey, you're alive" on the spot, and Braff actually did jump from it. He also did some research by calling other doctors, and threw in the line about taking off his shoes and scratching his feet at the very last moment, something doctors actually do.
