Goofs

Crew or equipment visible: After the attack on the Fiat Multipla (carrying Luke, Julian, Theo, Miriam, and Kee), when they stop for the police, just as Theo gets out, out his door you can momentarily see part of the framework for the elaborate roof camera rig. As the view crosses the door pillar it disappears; this is apparently used to transition to another shot. See more »

Crazy Credits

At the very end, one can read "Shantih, Shantih, Shantih" with children
shouting and laughing on the soundtrack, which can be heard repeatedly
throughout the end credits. This is the last line of T.S. Eliot's 1922 poem
"The Wasteland." "Shantih" means "peace" in Hindi. See more »
