Trivia: There are 7 entries in the trivia list - like these:

• Director Trademark: [Christopher Nolan] Cobb attempts to break into a flat using a credit card. The same method is used in Memento (2000) and Insomnia (2002/I).
• The clock that Cobb steals is the same clock in Christopher Nolans Memento (2000).
• Principal photography of this film took over one year. Because all cast and crew members had other full time jobs they were only able to film on Saturdays about 15 minutes of footage until photography had been completed.
