Trivia
In preparation for his role, Shia LaBeouf worked extensively with traders and researchers on the world of finance and economy. He even invested $20,000 and ended up making more than $400,000. A few people who trained him were later arrested for illegal acts of trading.

Goofs
When he hands the Chinese the Johnny Walker as a gift, he does not say what the subtitles indicates as "This is for you -- American Whiskey". What he says is actually translated as "I think you will like this".

Quotes
Gordon Gekko: Payback. Except I'm not in that business anymore - because the one thing I learned in jail is that money is not the prime asset in life. Time is.

Alternate versions
There are two versions, the theatrical release, and the one presented at Cannes for the film's debut. The runtimes are, respectively: "2h 13m (133 min)" and "2h 16m (136 min) (Cannes)".

The movie made me sleep...

Michael Douglas's performance was great. But he usually delivers solid performances. Beyond that, the acting in this movie was not great. I don't understand why Shia LaBeouf and the Carrie Mulligan were cast in the movie at all - they seem so weak and lacked even an iota of glamor. Susan Sarandon's character seemed unnecessary. The movie did have some funny lines. I liked the Ducatis and some of the wardrobe design. The cinematography was excellent - especially the racing scenes with the Ducatis! However, overall this movie was nowhere near as good as the original. The ending of this movie was very abrupt. Overall, it was a complete letdown.
