Did You Know?
| Trivia | The relationship between the Chinese cinematographer, his translator, and Woody Allen's character is loosely based on the relationship between Allen and cinematographer Zhao Fei, who worked together on Sweet and Lowdown (1999), Small Time Crooks (2000), and The Curse of the Jade Scorpion (2001). Allen exaggerated the comic aspect of the relationship. See more » |
| Goofs | In the scene where they pitch the film to Val (about 16:30 into the film) the boom is visible in the mirror. See more » |

We didn't communicate. Val: We had sex! Ellie: Yes, we had sex. But we never talked. Val: Sex is better than talk. Ask anybody in this bar. Talk is what you suffer through so you can get to sex. See more » |
