Trivia
Bryan Fuller added some more positive dialogue about religion after he was asked to do so by David Keith, so that the film would not appear to be overtly anti-religion. One example is when Carrie makes statements about her own faith as opposed to her mother's views.

Goofs
Carrie's hair is already wet and there is already blood splashed all over the floor when the first drops hit her face.

Quotes
Margaret White: You've gone so far astray, I fear for you.
Carrie White: You really think I'm going to burn in hell, Momma, just for going to my prom?
Margaret White: I don't want to think about what's going to happen to you. Sin knows you now. It will find you.
Carrie White: Momma...
Margaret White: Your sin will find you, Carrie, and when it does, not even Jesus can help you.
Carrie White: [exasperated] Jesus will help me. He will help me if I really need him.
Margaret White: Not if he doesn't love you anymore.
Carrie White: Jesus loves everybody, Momma - even me!

Alternate versions
In an alternate cut of the film, it appears there is a shot of the inside of the gym during the roof collapse where we see characters such as George Dawson, Ruth Gogan and several other character be crushed by the falling debris of the roof.

re: TxMike's post-Why not just watch DePalma's adaptation?

Why not just watch DePalma's 1976 adaptation? While this remake was made for TV, which sometimes can brand a film as belonging to a lower class, it is a more faithful adaptation of King's novel. Have you read the novel? Many of the complaints you have about the "changes" made for the TV adaptation are major occurrences in the novel. Even the way in which the main action is interrupted by interviews, follows the structure of the book. While I like to judge a film adaptation of a novel separate from the novel itself and not on how well it sticks to the story, I found the flow of the novel much more interesting than the almost slasher genre quality of DePalma's film, and subsequently found the remake just as interesting. Pick up a copy...it's a quick easy read and maybe you'll see the remake in a whole new light.
