Elizabethtown

Trivia: The movie opens in Portland, Oregon (as seen when the helicopter is flying over the city in the beginning). The Portland area is home to Nike (a big athletic shoe producer), and Nike's big name man and former CEO's name is Phil Knight. In the movie, the head honcho's name is Phil, dealing with athletic shoes in Portland, Oregon.

Trivia: In the Farmers Market at the end, when Claire's voiceover instructs Drew to "look for a girl in a red hat" some signs in the shape of arrows are visible near where Drew is standing. One says "success" and another says "failure." Drew finds Claire in the direction where "failure" is pointing.

Trivia: The rain in the cemetery scene with Orlando Bloom and Kirsten Dunst was not in the original script. Director Cameron Crowe decided to shoot the scene in the rain, because it looked more natural.

Continuity mistake: In Kentucky, when Drew parks the car across the street from the Brown Hotel, in this nice clear close-up the rearview mirror is gone. It disappears in various other shots as well, such as when he pulls into the funeral home parking lot. (00:41:25)

Claire Colburn: So you failed. Alright you really failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You think I care about that? I do understand. You wanna be really great? Then have the courage to fail big and stick around. Make them wonder why you're still smiling.
