| Watch for... | The computer map locating the city as London, England.
"Securikams" - changed to Securicams in the US remake. Apartment 42 and Channel 42. Carter's sexual harassment line. Bryce using his computer while in the bathtub - a safety no-no-no that was corrected in the US remake. Bryce correctly pronouncing "data." Breugal quoting Shakespeare. Theora parking in her bedroom. No mobile phones...? A final Max Headroom sign. An early example of a post-credits scene. |
