Trivia
According to the special makeup effects designer on the film, Arjen Tuiten, it took about 6 and a half hours to complete Samara's makeup and her costume featured a water rig under the dress that allowed the character to constantly drip water.

Goofs
When Julia picks up the phone from under the desk, it shows one announcement on the screen. When she has a closer look, there are suddenly four announcements on the screen.

Quotes
Holt: [trailer] I keep... thinking about this story. There's this video that... kills you. Seven days after you watch it. The second it's over... the phone rings. And this voice says...
Samara: [voiceover] Seven days.

Crazy credits
At the beginning of the movie, the stars in the Paramount logo flicker, the background darkens and for a brief moment, the stars change into the sign of The Ring.

Alternate versions
The digital HD and Blu-ray releases include behind-the-scenes interviews with the cast & crew, deleted/extended scenes, and an alternative ending.

I hope I'm not wasting my time, telling you...

...to not waste yours.

Remember the writers strike of 1988?

How bad a good pie recipe is without a cook? How poorly your car runs with no gasoline? How your puppy seems lacklustre and not at all playful since he died?

There was more suspense on Teletubbies when I didn't see the green one for a few seconds. Remember Duckman? I did, after I struggled thru 46 minutes of this I borrowed my parents VCR and watched it instead.
