💡 Did You Know?

The clips of the Brunswick Naval Air Station's signage was shot illegally. When the production approached the military personnel at the gates about filming the sign, they were threatened with jail time. As they left, the director pointed the camera at the front gate without looking into the viewfinder, casually looking in the other direction. The shot is included as an establishing shot in the movie. This was about six months after 9/11/01.
