Quotes
Walter Mitty:
When are you going to take it?
Sean O'Connell:
Sometimes I don't. If I like a moment, for me, personally, I don't like to have the distraction of the camera. I just want to stay in it.
Walter Mitty:
Stay in it?
Sean O'Connell:
Yeah. Right there. Right here.
Goofs
When Walter Mitty visits Sean O'Connell in the Himalayas, O'Connell uses an old Nikon F3/T camera with what appears to be a Nikon 400/2.8G lens attached. While it's technically possible to use that combination, the lens has no aperture ring and no way to set the aperture on that body. A professional photographer would not use this combination, especially if they preferred vintage equipment.
Crazy Credits
The making and authorized distribution of this film supported over 15,000 jobs and involved hundreds of thousands of work hours.
Alternate Versions
The British theatrical version was pre-cut during post-production to secure a PG rating (an uncut 12 rating was available to the distributor). This version was the one released worldwide.
