** During one shot of the Carrousel scene, you can clearly see the wires holding some of the people in the air.

** During one shot of the Carrousel scene, you can clearly see the wires holding some of the people in the air. When this footage was reused for the TV series, this was also visible. It's been speculated that this wasn't an error, and that the citizens were actually meant to be hoisted up on wires in order to attempt renewal.


Added DiffLines:

* AdaptationDisplacement: The film is much better known than the original novel, and many are unaware that a sequel novel, ''Logan's World'', exists.

** The small scale of the city models are painfully obvious and unintentionally make it look like a model train set. The opening at least [[ObscuredSpecialEffects tries to hide the scale with an out of focus lens]], but it only helps so much, and the rest of the film shows the model sets plain and clear.

The water makes the city being a miniature particularly obvious since the surface tension/waves are out of proportion with the buildings.

** Carrousel itself. It doesn't look so much as people happy to reach "renewal" as people trying to claw their way out - and then they explode to the cheers of the crowd. Later, Logan finds out that [[spoiler: no one ever renews - then you realize that those people are dead, dead, dead.]]

** FridgeBrilliance: Considering Jessica's character demonstrates there is an ''organized'' Runner's movement, a stun setting would be useful if you'd like to interrogate someone or use them as bait to catch their fellow subversives. It's also a nod to the books where a Sandman's pistol had several settings, including a "tangler" for live capture.

Sandman were not just for killing Runners - they were the society's law enforcement. Unless you were on Last Day and trying to run, they were no more or less a threat than an average beat cop.
