    • Trivia
      Attila Ambrus: The original "Whiskey Robber" Attila Ambrus as the taxi driver.
    • Goofs
      When Attila first meets Kata, she boards the metro at Élmunkás tér (today Lehel tér) towards Árpád híd, but she gets off at Nagyvárad tér, which is to the opposite direction. It's very far from Élmunkás tér and it's impossible that Attila run all the way and got there before the train. He also couldn't know where she is going to get off.
