What's left behind the scenes

  • Many directors shoot the ending of their films at the very beginning of the filmmaking process; however, Shyamalan shot his thriller in strict sequence, meaning the final scene was filmed at the very end of production.
  • M. Night Shyamalan considers his film a kind of symbiosis of "The Exorcist" (1973) and "Ordinary People" (1980).
  • In 2000, the film became the most popular among home video enthusiasts (approximately 80 million viewers).
  • Haley Joel Osment was the only candidate for the role of Cole who came to the audition wearing a tie. When Shyamalan asked the boy if he had read his part of the script, Haley replied that he had read the script three times the day before. A surprised Night asked again, "You read your part of the script three whole times?", to which the boy replied, "No, I read the entire script three times."
  • Director M. Night Shyamalan played one of the roles in the film. He played the doctor to whom Toni Collette's character brought Cole after the incident at the birthday party.
  • The film was released in American theaters on M. Night Shyamalan's birthday.
  • According to M. Night Shyamalan, Donnie Wahlberg lost 43 pounds specifically for his role.
  • According to M. Night Shyamalan, the idea for the film came to him after he watched episode #3.10 "The Tale of the Dream Girl" from the series "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" (1991-1996).
  • Liam Aiken was considered for the role of Cole.
  • Many similarities can be found in two films featuring Bruce Willis – "The Sixth Sense" (1999) and "12 Monkeys" (1995). Firstly, the main character in both films is named Cole. In "12 Monkeys," Bruce's character says, "Everyone I see is actually dead." A similar phrase is uttered by Haley Joel Osment's character in "The Sixth Sense." And finally, both films have a number in their title, and the action takes place in Philadelphia.
  • The voice on the audio cassette that Malcolm hears speaks in Spanish: "Lord, I don't want to die, save me, save me."
  • In the film, Bruce Willis's character writes with his right hand. In real life, Bruce is left-handed. He specifically learned to write with his right hand for the film so that the audience wouldn't notice the absence of a wedding ring on his left hand.
  • According to the "American Film Institute," Cole's phrase "I see dead people" ranked 44th on the list of "100 Greatest Movie Quotes of All Time."
  • In one scene of the film "Ocean's Twelve" (2004), where Bruce Willis plays himself, there's a lengthy comedic argument about the predictability of the film's plot.
  • Haley Joel Osment was the only candidate for the role of Cole who came to the audition wearing a tie. When Shyamalan asked the boy if he had read his part of the script, Haley replied that he had read the script three times the day before. Surprised, Night asked again: "You read your part of the script three whole times?", to which the boy replied: "No, I read the entire script three times."
