| 3 | ** A very minor example in the original film: the subway scenes, which take place on the IRT 4/5/6 line that runs through the East Side of Manhattan, were actually shot in an abandoned station/tunnel in Brooklyn.[[note]]The giveaway is the unusually large gap between the platform and the train, as the station was built to accommodate the wider IND trains.[[/note]] |
| 4 | ** A much more blatant example in the 1998 remake, which was shot using the Toronto subway. |
| 5 | * DyeingForYourArt: Creator/DonnieWahlberg bleached his hair blond for the role of Mr. Grey in the 1998 remake. |
| 6 | * RealLifeRelative: Appearing in a small role was Lucy Saroyan, the daughter of writer William Saroyan and step-daughter of Creator/WalterMatthau. Also appearing in a small role was Matthau's niece, Michelle Matthow. |
| 7 | * TechnologyMarchesOn: The remake had quite a job in adapting the hijackers' plan to fit improvements in transit security since the '70s. |
| 8 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: Creator/StevenSpielberg was considered to direct the original. |
