Crazy Credits: We know about 1 Crazy Credits. One of them reads:
Girl Play is based on a true story. The names and places have been changed to protect the innocent except Robin and Lacie. They supposedly are who they say they are.
Goofs: We know about 2 goofs. Here comes one of them:
Audio/visual unsynchronized: When the doctor is riding his motorbike through the tunnel and spots the wolf, he is mouthing “Help me,” repeatedly, but we dont hear his voice. At the end, he says, “Oh my god,” but is still mouthing, “Help me.”
Trivia: There are 2 entries in the trivia list - like these:
- The theatrical trailer contains scenes/dialogue not present in the movie: When Van der Veer jumps out and startles his wife, the trailer shows a clip of their bodyguard reaching for his gun which is not present in the film; when Executive Security is reviewing the video of Becky Neff, someone says “team her up with Wilson”. In the film, the head of security says “I want her.”; the trailer includes a scene where Dewey and Becky, en route to the South Bronx, are talking in his car about the mysterious nature of the killings. This scene is not in the film; an overhead shot of the moon and clouds in “Wolfen-vision” that is present in the trailer is not in the film; in the scene where the Wolfen lures Becky up to the second floor of the abandoned church, there is a voice-over from Dewey (although it is NOT Albert Finneys voice) where he tells her that something was trying to lure her upstairs and separate them.
- One of the few films to be released theatrically with the “Megasound” sound system format. Megasound was a movie theater sound system created by Warner Bros in the early 1980s. It was used to enhance the premiere engagements of a handful of Warner features. Theaters equipped for Megasound had additional speakers mounted on the left, right and rear walls of the auditorium. Selected soundtrack events with lots of low-frequency content (thuds, crashes, explosions, etc) were directed to these speakers at very high volume, creating a visceral effect intended to thrill the audience.
