* PlayingGertrude: Creator/ElizabethMitchell is two years ''younger'' than Jim Caviezel while playing his mother in the present timeline. Make-up made her look way older though.
* UnintentionalPeriodPiece
** The premise for the film includes John using a ham radio to talk to Frank thirty years in the past; for that timeline to make sense the film obviously takes place earlier than 2010, since ham radios weren't really a fad by the 80s and onwards.
** A critical plot point is Frank getting the Nightingale's fingerprints, which he can't make much use of but John can, by matching the prints in his time; that means Frank lived in a time when fingerprint analysis wasn't as widespread as it is now. That the Nightingale wasn't worried about leaving his fingerprints on a piece of evidence also shows that forensic science was much less advanced.
** One of John's friends bemoans that he had the chance to get into Website/{{Yahoo}} on the ground floor and didn't take it, so John is sure to tell him as a kid to remember "yahoo". A BrickJoke at the end of the film implies he's now extremely wealthy. The choice to use Yahoo for this plot point plants the film as firmly in the last 90s-early 2000s, when Yahoo was still huge.

* DawsonCasting: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]]. Creator/JimCaviezel—born in September 1968—is ''younger'' than his character, John, who is six-years-old in the October 1969 timeline. In RealLife, Caviezel had just turned ''one'' in September of that same year, meaning he played a character whose younger depiction was of elementary school age during a timeframe when Caviezel himself was actually only a toddler.
