Deliberate mistake: At or near the beginning there is a scene with autumn leaves. The colours and amount are just not consistent with the date of September 11. They seem to be about 3 or 4 weeks ahead of schedule.

Directed by: Oliver Stone
Starring: Nicolas Cage, Maria Bello, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Connor Paolo, Anthony Piccininni
Factual error: Rescuer and US Marine Jason Thomas is an African-American in real life, but was portrayed in the film as a white man. The film's producers realized the mistake only after production began, and apologized to Thomas, whose identity had not been widely known for years after September 11th.
Allison Jimeno: How am I supposed to tell Bianca that her father is dead?
Trivia: Outside the Port Authority terminal is a statue of Jackie Gleason as Ralph Kramden from "The Honeymooners." According to Oliver Stone in the audio commentary, that statue actually exists.
Question: Why is Jimeno so out of breath and tired-looking when near the cart at the beginning?
Answer: That cart was very, very heavy.
