• "Eagle Eye" (original American title) was based on a story by Steven Spielberg, who was originally intended to direct the film. However, the director became occupied with "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" (2008) and handed the reins to Caruso, remaining only as an executive producer.
• A DVD of Caruso and Shia LaBeouf's previous work, "Paranoia" (2007), can be spotted in the film.
• Filming began on November 6, 2007, and was completed in February 2008.
• When looking at a list of films that Jerry Shaw either purchased or watched most often, you can notice such films as "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" (2004), "Fight Club" (1999), "City of God" (2002), and 2 films by Stanley Kubrick: "Full Metal Jacket" (1987) and "2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968).
• In the home appliance department, where Rachel and Jerry go, the film "Cloverfield" (2008), released in the spring of the same year, is playing on all the screens.
• Based on the name, the explosive "hexamethylene" is ordinary cyclohexane (a harmless liquid, similar in properties to gasoline).
• When the characters in the film lock themselves in a Pentagon room and turn off all sound-transmitting devices, Aria hears them through the vibrations of coffee on the table. For the liquid to vibrate with such amplitude from sound, people would have to speak with an unrealistically low bass and not just shout, but try to outshout a jet plane taking off!
• When Jerry finds a weapon in the room, among the passports is a passport of a citizen of the USSR, which doesn't make sense, as this state had long ceased to exist by the time the film takes place.
• In the film, you can spot a DVD of "Paranoia" (2007), a previous work by Caruso and Shia LaBeouf.
• When the list of films that Jerry Shaw supposedly bought or rented most often appears, you can notice such films as "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" (2004), "Fight Club" (1999), "City of God" (2002), and two films by Stanley Kubrick: "Full Metal Jacket" (1987) and "2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968).
• In the appliance department, where Rachel and Jerry walk, the film "Cloverfield" (2008), released in the spring of the same year, is playing on all the screens.
• Judging by the name, the explosive "hexamethylene" is ordinary cyclohexane (a harmless liquid, with properties similar to gasoline).
