    • Trivia
      All of the bar scenes (including a murder scene) were filmed in Foran's Grand Trunk Pub, one of the oldest pubs still in operation in the city of Detroit. One unique fact about Foran's is that the famed magician, Harry Houdini, kept an office in the basement of the pub.

      Sam goes to Detroit Police headquarters to investigate the Pontiac Killer. Pontiac, Michigan is 30 miles north of Detroit, and all crimes there are investigated by the Oakland County Sheriff's Department.
    • Quotes

      Jenna Reide: This is so Scooby-Doo, isn't it? I would've gotten away with it if it wasn't for those meddling kids.

      Sam Reide: You're out of your fucking mind, Jenna.

      Jenna Reide: Come on, Sam. You know that's not true. If you hadn't kept jumping back to catch me, I could've stopped. But every time you went back, there was more witnesses, there was more evidence to cover up. It's funny when you think about it. You really did create a serial killer. Ever since the day you jumped back and you saved me, I knew I'd only live for you.

    Very good, despite what some think or would think
    I haven't seen Butterfly Effect 2, and a lot of people had said that Butterfly Effect was terrible - though I'd thought otherwise.

    This movie however, much unlike the original offers a main character seasoned in the ability to gain control of his past self (Its not exactly time travel). Not to mention he is also completely aware of the changes made in time.

    The movie is done SO WELL, and very fun to watch because it doesn't include the 'WTF?' attitude Ashton had to have for the first movie. Instead it goes at a decent pace and if anything makes you want more! I'd also like to make a comment on other postings stating characters 'Don't Make Sense, because they have no explanation'. Its asinine, that somebody couldn't put together that Goldburg is simple somebody that helps along the main character.

    Either way, its rent able, buy able, and best of all watchable!
