Continuity: When Agent 11 is in the park, hiding behind the tree, he has a collar on, but when he's running away, he has no collar.

Trivia: There are 5 entries in the trivia list – like these:

• Michael Clarke Duncan filmed two scenes with a broken leg. The scene where he takes Spot away from Gordon and James and the scene where Spot decides to stay with Gordon and James. Any shots of him standing up was a stand-in.
• The character Benny, played by Anthony Anderson, originally had one line in the film. The director decided that Gordon needed someone to talk to, so they increased the role of Benny.
• The original cut of the film was 2 hours and 45 minutes.
