Notes
Also Known As:
Stadt der Engel (Germany)

Trivia: When 'Meg Ryan' is looking in the mirror and Nicolas Cage is not reflected, this was shot twice with motion control: once with Ryan and Cage, once without the actors, and mixed together. also, if you look closely enough, you can see a few strands of Ryan's hair morphing in and out where Cage's face was erased.

Goofs: Continuity: When Maggie is putting away her name badge after meeting Seth in Messenger's room, her fingers are all behind the badge. In the next shot, her index finger is in front of it, touching her name. (more)

Quotes:
Maggie: What happened?
Seth: Free will.
