Trivia
When Ransom tells his family at the will reading to "eat shit," he was originally supposed to tell them "fuck you." Rian Johnson decided to remove most of the "F" bombs in the script to secure a PG-13 rating and keep it more like the mystery films he used to watch with his family growing up. Chris Evans was the one who suggested substituting "eat shit."
Quotes
Linda Drysdale:
Were you boinking my father?
Goofs
When Marta picks up the mail off of the floor, the envelope she finds is crisp and clean. When she goes into her apartment and sets the mail down, the envelope is now crinkled and damaged. You can tell it has been opened, but she continues to open it as if it's the first time. Likely the production only had one copy of the envelope and this was a later take.
