Trivia: Author Joe Quirk filed a lawsuit against Sony Pictures for copyright, after assuming Premium Rush was based on The Ultimate Rush, which was one of his novels.
Visible crew/equipment: At 5:17pm, after Manny asks Wilee to bike ride with him in Central Park, Wilee is seen driving through traffic. There is one shot where he rides past a silver Ford. Behind the silver Ford is a taxi, and if you look carefully, you'll see a boom mic reflected on the car. It can't be a lamp post, because the item on top is too big and super fluffy to be a lamp post. This is only visible for a split second and visible just as the taxi becomes out of frame as the camera pans around Wilee. (00:07:45)
Question: During the chase scene at the impound lot, Wilee is chased by a cop onto a high platform and another cop climbs on top of the platform. To avoid the other cop, Wilee jumps off the platform with his bike. In a sudden close-up of Wilee, a slash sound is heard. What is this slash sound I am hearing? (01:11:40)
Chosen answer: I think that sound is the front wheel giving way. If you look closely, you can see that his front wheel is wobbling a little as he escapes. This may be why he ditches his bike and steals the cop's bike soon after.
