  • Juno Skinner’s name is selected.
  • Omega Sector’s name is selected.
  • Truth serum is selected and inspires a hypothetical interview show; the drug’s real effectiveness remains uncertain.
  • Simon’s 1959 Corvette price is selected for aged best, though the exact figure is disputed after a freeze-frame recollection.
  • Paxton’s comic performance is selected for aged best, especially Simon begging for his life and wetting himself at the dam and again in the ending. A Paxton theme month is expressly not established.
  • Cameron’s partnership with Jon Landau is selected, alongside appreciation after Landau’s death.
  • The camcorder battery failing during the terrorist announcement is selected.
  • The weapons incapacitating Harry and Helen are initially called tasers, then corrected to tranquilizer darts.
  • The discussion claims an actual disused bridge was destroyed and partly rebuilt, while an objection recalls miniature bridge work; the relationship between those accounts is not resolved here.
  • Cameron reportedly asked Schwarzenegger to share above-title billing with Curtis after recognizing the film as a husband-and-wife story, and Schwarzenegger agreed.
