Trivia
In the film's theatrical release, the music playing as Walter leaves 'Life' and goes to Greenland is Wake Up by Arcade Fire but in subsequent television broadcasts, that song is replaced for the scene.
Quotes
Walter Mitty:
Hey Todd, I'm gonna keep this short. I have to make oxygen choices.
Goofs
Walter, who had never been to anyplace but Phoenix, would likely not have had a passport, and could not have gotten one quickly enough to leave for Greenland immediately, it's entirely possible that he had previously gotten one with the dream of traveling, but never found the courage to do any.
