What's left behind the scenes

Erik Bress and J. Mackie Grubber reworked the screenplay, but they were never credited in the film's titles.
Larry Cohen worked on the film's script while trying to sell the script for "Phone Booth" (2002). In an article in "The New Yorker," he stated that his intention was to create a film that was the complete opposite of "Phone Booth," where the protagonist cannot move away from the phone, while in the new film he is tied to the phone but can go anywhere. His friends didn't understand the concept and said he had simply written the same script twice.
Throughout the film, various references to New Line Cinema, which financed the project, can be noticed repeatedly. The head of the studio, Robert Shaye, appears in a cameo as an irritated man at the police station. The film's producer, Dean Devlin, appears in a cameo as a taxi driver who drives Ryan in one of the film's scenes. On Ricky's school backpack, you can see a poster for "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" (2001), and "Final Destination" (2000) is playing on the television in the kidnappers' house. Both films were also produced by New Line Cinema.
The film was supposed to be Dean Devlin's directorial debut, but in the process of preparing for filming, he decided to step down and became one of the film's producers.
The mobile phone model used by Ryan in the film is a Nokia 6600.
The cell phone Chris Evans had throughout the filming of the movie didn't actually work. He heard Kim Basinger's lines intended for him through a small earpiece.
The tattoo on Ryan's right arm is a Japanese kanji meaning 'loyalty' and 'honor,' the only hint of heroism in this ordinary guy.
Chris Evans performed all of his car stunts himself without the help of professional stunt performers. He underwent five weeks of training at a Los Angeles stunt school for this purpose. Most of the other stunts in the film were also performed by the actors themselves.
On August 5, 2004, on an American talk show, Kim Basinger recounted that when she was talking on her cell phone while standing outside a movie theater restroom waiting for her friend, she was greatly annoyed by a small, rude crowd that had gathered around, laughing and pointing at her. Only when her friend came out of the restroom and pointed out that she was standing directly in front of the 'Cellular' poster depicting Kim Basinger talking on a cell phone did she understand what had caused such a reaction from those around her.
When Ryan is at Los Angeles International Airport, you can hear an announcement for the beginning of boarding for flight 180 to Paris. This is the same flight on which the heroes of 'Final Destination' (2000) perished.
