• The film is set in 1967. It states that Larry's wife, Judith Gopnik, hires the firm "Tacman Marsh." Sandy Farber hires the same firm in the Coen brothers' previous film, "Burn After Reading," which is set in 2008.
• An ironic phrase can be noticed in the end credits: "No Jews were harmed during the making of this film."
• The tornado approaching the city in the final scene is a factual event, coinciding in time and location with the events in the film. The tornado in southern Minnesota on April 30, 1967, which took thirteen lives, was nicknamed "Black Sunday" by locals (including the film's directors).
