Wissenswertes
The production hired a stunt driver to maneuver the tiny Fiat cab around a hairpin turn for one of the exterior shots in Rome. The turn was so tight that the stunt driver couldn't manage it, even after several takes. Roberto Benigni asked if he could try it and pulled it off perfectly on the first take.

Patzer
This film takes place sometime during the winter, and the opening story takes place in Los Angeles starting at 7:07 p.m. At no time during the winter would Los Angeles be this sunny at 7:07 p.m. The latest time of day the sun would set during the winter would be at 6:07 p.m. on March 20, the last day of winter. (March 20 now occurs during Daylight Saving Time, but, in 1991, DST did not begin until April.)

Zitate
Paris Driver: Don't blind people usually wear dark glasses?
Blind Woman: Do they? I've never seen a blind person.

Crazy Credits
During the end credits, the titles of the crew members are in the language of the place/unit they worked in (ie the Helsinki unit's credits are in Finnish, and so on).

Original, funny and tragic

Jim Jarmusch does an excellent job in creating character conflict and intriguing, realistic dialogue. But what I admire most in this movie are the opening scenes of every segment. He knows how to capture the essence of every city and how to establish mood. National Geographic has nothing over Jarmusch's photographic talent.

All segments are well written and tie in with the respective cities that are the back drop of the film: LA, NY, Paris, Rome and Helsinki. The Helsinki segment is the most depressing and it's kind of a bummer that the movie had to end on that note. The Paris segment steals the show. Incredible camera work and terrific dialogue.

Overall, the movie gave me a renewed appreciation for cinema. Thanks Jarmusch.
