Trivia

The prop department put a lot of effort into making a realistic model bat. It got lost and had to be replaced on short notice. This explains the rather unconvincing look of the model that got actually used in the movie. See more »

Goofs

Continuity: In the opening scenes, the windows on the coach almost all alternate between open and closed from shot to shot. See more »

Quotes
