Self-Plagiarism: The story Paul tells Rashid about the boy who discovered his father frozen in a block of ice is taken from Auster's novel The New York Trilogy. | |

Adaptation Expansion | |
Smoke / int_23473ae7 | comment |
Adaptation Expansion: The movie is based on the short story "Auggie Wren's Christmas Story" by Paul Auster. The entire story is filmed in the last 12 minutes of the movie (as well as part of what plays over the closing credits); everything that happens before then was made up by Auster and co-writer/director Wayne Wang. | |

Do Not Call Me "Paul": Inverted - when Paul figures out who The Creeper is and says so, his dragon immediately gets in Paul's face and tells Paul to call The Creeper "Charles" because he doesn't like the other name. | |

Smoke / int_71105dfc | comment |
Everybody Smokes: All the main characters in this movie smoke, and Paul and Auggie are seen smoking throughout. However, near the end, Paul buys only one box of cigarettes rather than two because he's trying to cut down. | |

Covers Always Lie | |
Smoke / int_7315fd38 | comment |
Covers Always Lie: The poster only features Harvey Keitel, Stockard Channing, and Ashley Judd, as if they were the main characters, and they were close. Judd's character hardly figures in the movie; and while Keitel plays one of the major characters, Channing plays more of a supporting role. | |

Actually Pretty Funny: When The Creeper and his dragon come to Paul's apartment to find Rashid, Paul asks who he has the pleasure of speaking with. The Creeper chuckles at that, and tells him their conversation will be about business. | |

20 Minutes into the Past: The movie is set in 1990, as indicated by a title card that appears early in the movie, as well as the fact the guys who hang around Auggie's cigar store talk about the end of the Cold War. | |

Shout-Out | |
Smoke / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: "So he huffed and he puffed, and he smoked his book." When Auggie tells the guys who hang around his store about what happened to Paul's wife (she got caught in the crossfire of a shootout nearby), one of them says, "Bad Day at Black Rock all around, huh, Auggie?" | |
