Trivia: Director Alan Parker makes a fleeting cameo appearance. When Ralph starts his routine and says, "I'm a professional asshole", the camera moves to Coco's reaction, and then the next shot is the brief shot of Alan Parker before the camera shot moves down onto another actor. (01:41:40)

Continuity mistake: When Bruno's father starts playing his music on the loudspeakers of his cab, in the background is a yellow Ryder rental truck. The Ryder logo is very worn and some letters are virtually removed, but in later shots, the Ryder logo is perfectly formed.

Continuity mistake: When Bruno is in his father's cab, his father discusses how he doesn't have a girlfriend. The back window is steamed up in the closeup shots of Bruno, but when the camera moves to include both Bruno and his father in the same shot, the back window is now no longer steamed up.

Audio problem: When the guy from the Ryder truck comes over and rips one of the speakers from Bruno's father's cab, the sound being played doesn't change.
