Trivia
Vandamm remarks in the Rapid City house scene that the plane taking them out of the country should touch down in "10 minutes." It is exactly 10 minutes in real time when they see the plane landing on the landing strip.
Quotes
Roger Thornhill:
You're police, aren't you? Or is it FBI?
The Professor:
FBI, CIA, ONI... we're all in the same alphabet soup.
Goofs
When Roger boards the train he is seated with Eve and meets her for the first time. He orders a drink. In this scene there are several camera cuts between them. When the camera is on her you can see Roger with his hand on the drink. When the camera cuts to him he has his arms folded in front of him and he is not touching the drink. This happens in more than one cut during this scene.
Crazy Credits
The Leo the Lion/MGM trademark preceding the credits is on a green field, to match the green field used in the credits proper.
