-Filmed in early August of 2002 over a weeks time in various places throughout the Midwest.

-Spanned two complete Hi8 tapes

-Was the second Ubstudios film to be edited entirely on a computer

-Two versions of this film were released, a shorter version which was the standard for about a year, and a Special Limited Edition which contains a few extended scenes and narration at a key point. The SL edition also contains music fixes.

-Catherine O'Hara appears in the film as an accident. She was walking through the train station during filming and bumped into Justin. This is a well documented happening. She briefly appears in the film. This also is the only documented case of a Hollywood celebrity appearing in a Ubstudios film.

-The first Ubstudios movie filmed in Chicago

-Other- A few credits were misplaced in the beginning of the film, resulting in words being cut off.

-Audio problem- This is in relation to the first edition of the film, during the beginning credits, the audio was panned down unexpectedly. It was fixed for the SL edition.

-factual error- O'Hare Airport is incorrectly spelled as Ohaire. This mistake remains on the DVD.

-Audio problem- During the first bridge construction scenes, Justin can be heard giving cues to the camera operator (Leeroy Sr.). This was fixed on the SL edition.

-tape error- This refers to all versions of the film. In the scene where Leeroy Sr. is watching TV, a tape glitch can easily be seen. This was unpreventable, but is still a mistake.
