Did You Know?
| Trivia | The scene where Joe accidentally closes the door of Kathleen's shop on the balloons was unscripted. Tom Hanks actually did that, and ad libbed the line, "Good thing it wasn't the fish." Nora Ephron thought it was so funny that she kept it in. See more » |
| Goofs | When Joe picks up the book Kathleen has brought at the café and says 'Pride and Prejudice, I bet you just love this book', it is actually the cover of Jane Austen's Persuasion. See more » |

| Crazy Credits | When the 75th anniversary variation of the Warner Bros. logo finished, the clouds and the 75th anniversary wordings is fading to the computer wallpaper with the words "WARNER BROS. PRESENTS", leaving the shield logo and then it zooms out to show a computer desktop, segueing into the opening credits, and the WB logo moves to the upper-left corner. The sounds of computers and fax machines playing over the logo. See more » |
