The only thing in the back of the white van that is real is the stars and stripes box. The rest was made by VFX. See more »
Goofs
The license plate on the white van has the configuration of numbers and letters that California has, not Illinois. Illinois plates (including in 2011) generally have three figures, then a space, then four figures. California plates have a number, three letters, and three numbers, all in a row, as the van's does.

Source code is one of those few action/sci-Fi movies that work effectively without exaggeration or embellishment. When we see Source Code we see the certain resemblance it has with ''Déjà Vu'' with Denzel Washington but Duncan Jones, with his own talent his own style prevent that from happening. Source Code has is own method and approach, which is quite entertaining and enjoyable. This movie is certainly recommended for all the action-junkies because this has all to be a ''Summer Hit'' which confuses me, why hasn't this opened in June or July, it had the potential and the content of an ''Summer'' blockbuster. Jake Gyllenhaal is not your typical action hero, since but he really pulls everything off really well. Michelle Monaghan and Vera Farmiga are both absolutely gorgeous women with talent. On the whole Source Code is pure entertainment at its best.
