• The statement that humans only use 10% of their brain is a common urban myth that scientists of that caliber would have known. It refers to unused potential. In fact, brain scans have shown that no matter what you are doing all parts of the brain are active, though some are more active than others--which is explained in this movie by Niko.

• The name "Zoe" is the Greek word for life.

• The potato chips in the film are the fictional Let's Potato Chips, which are also found in the TV show Community (2009), starring Donald Glover.
