** You'll also see Creator/GeorgeClooney's name and face plastered on ever poster, trailer and box cover to do with this film. He turns up in the background of one scene near the very end of the movie.
** Not only that, but for some reason Creator/JohnTravolta isn't listed on the poster or in the trailer. Now, this ''could'' be understandable, given how he only has roughly two scenes that come near the beginning-middle of the film, but the fact that they easily outmatch Clooney's one cameo in length leaves one confused as to why he would be substituted. Adding to the perplexity is that Travolta is practically the ''only'' A-List talent in the film's final cut whose name isn't on the poster.
