Trivia

Boxer Paolo Roberto is featured as a character in the original novel, and now plays himself in the movie. This is quite possibly only the fourth time in film and literature that this has happened. Previously, Richard Kiley was the tour guide voice in Jurassic Park, having been identified as such in Michael Crichton's novel, as well as, Lady Chablis playing herself in Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil after being a character in the original novel by John Berendt, Finnish painter Kimmo Kaivanto played himself in _Jäähyväiset presidentille_(1987) after being a character in the original novel by Pentti Kirstilä See more »

Goofs

Factual errors: It is impossible to dig oneself out of the grave, few hours after being buried. There is no air to breathe there during all this time. See more »
