- Trivia(at around 1h 13 mins) The black and white commercial featuring Sarah Jordan wasn't shot specifically for the movie; it is an actual commercial starring Scarlett Johansson.
- Goofs(at around 1h 40 mins) When the two Lincolns are driving to the news station, they are stopped at a light when wreckage falls directly in front of them. Somehow it is cleared for them to speed away and the wreckage is no longer visible.
- Quotes
McCord: [At Lincoln Six-Echo] All right, look. I know you're new to this whole human experience and all, but there's one universal truth and that is you NEVER give a woman your credit card.
Lincoln Six-Echo: Right. mmm.

Featured review
As big action-blockbusters go, "The Island" isn't bad, and deserves a better life on video than it had at the box office. I'd hardly call it great, but like all good science fiction, it has it's basis in ideas, and this movie holds to its ideas well.
"The Island" is reasonably entertaining, with some fun (if over-the-top) action sequences, and the production design has some interesting ideas of how we'll live in the future (hint: a LOT of us will apparently be driving Chrysler 300's, especially the police). The "value of life" argument is developed reasonably well, and the characters manage to hold your attention.
Bear in mind that Micheal Bay directed "Armageddon". I might not be saying that much, but "The Island" really is better.
