** There are several clues throughout the movie that not everything is how it seems. The most obvious one comes at the previously mentioned fight outside of the pink door, where Remy tears through a bunch of businessmen and people in street clothes, all of whom are wielding a series of bladed weapons(such as a meat cleaver!) that they really had no business carrying around, even if they were repo-men. The second is that Remy only knows of four instances of losing consciousness, when he actually gets knocked out five times. [[spoiler: The fifth knockout is what gets him hooked up to the Neural Net.]]

* Of ''course'' the same company that markets artificial organs is also heavily invested in technology to keep brain-damaged patients alive in their own private dream-worlds. If people with severely-damaged brains ''weren't'' able to be artificially maintained, and the dream-world simulations weren't available to reassure their families that such people could be happy while comatose, many more victims of head injuries would still be allowed to pass on as per "do not resuscitate" orders. Which would make many of them potential donors for ''organic'' organ transplants. Neural nets are how the Union ''eliminates competition''.
