• The lighthouse featured in the film, and on the poster, is the Point Arena Lighthouse, near Manchester, California. The house in the film, was a shell built by the production team, and was torn down after filming. The only permanent structures near the lighthouse are some vacation rental units, formerly Coast Guard barracks, and the Lighthouse Keeper's residence, which is now a museum maintained by local volunteers. The lighthouse has recently undergone renovations, and is open to the public.

• The showed notes contained in Harry's composition notebooks were literally transcribed from the section 2.9 "Pressure Distribution in Rigid-Body Motion" of the book Fluid Mechanics by Frank M. White.

• The book that Nat gives Daniel to read so he can catch up on history is "Chronicle of America" by Clifton Daniel, which spans the years 1600 to 1989, the latter being the year the book was published.
