* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: While this applies mostly for the technology-related reasons stated above, the fact that at least two characters are hyped up for what would eventually become ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'' not only instantly dates this to the start of the 2000s, but even indicates that it was written and filmed before the HypeBacklash for ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'' had hit full swing.

* TechnologyMarchesOn: It is unlikely a college student would be sending videotapes to his girlfriend by snail mail any more in the days of Skype, smartphone cameras and broadband. Cell phones would also have resolved much of the plot a lot more quickly. Finally, nowadays most delivery services, including the USPS, allow the sender of an in-transit package to put in a delivery cancellation or redirect request online, invalidating the entire premise of the movie even if there was some reason why a college student would be sending a video via snail mail.

* FollowTheLeader: A strange example - this film came only two years after ''Film/OvernightDelivery'' and has an very similar plot, but ''Overnight Delivery'' was a direct-to-video release, hardly a big success. If there were a little less space between them it would be DuelingMovies.

** Creator/CrispinGlover was originally cast as Jacob.
** Originally, Music/{{Moby}}'s version of the Film/JamesBond theme was playing in the background when E.L. drove the car over the bridge. However, Creator/ToddPhillips later switched it to a 'generic' song, because the budget didn't allow him to use the Moby song.
