Did You Know?
| Trivia | The phone actually worked, and there was someone on the other line talking to Colin Farrell speaking as the caller, but Kiefer Sutherland's voice was added in during post-production. See more » |
| Goofs | At the end of the movie as Stu (Colin Farrell) lies in the ambulance after being shot, he is given medication for the pain which makes him very disoriented just in time for The Caller (Kiefer Sutherland) to show up and taunt him. The person who administered the medication just hops out of the ambulance. Any time an injured person would be given such a strong medicine, they would be monitored to ensure that they have no negative reaction. See more » |

| Quotes |
Stu:
I have never done anything for anybody who couldn't do something for me. I string along an eager kid with promises I'll pay him money. I only keep him around because he looks up to me. Adam, if you're watching, don't be a publicist. You're too good for it. I lie in person and on the phone. I lie to my friends. I lie to newspapers and magazines who, who sell my lies to more and more people. I am just a part of a big cycle of lies, I should be fuckin' president. I wear all this Italian shit because underneath I still feel like the Bronx. I think I need these clothes and this watch. My two thousand dollar watch is a fake and so am I. I've neglected the things I should have valued most. I valued this shit. I take off my wedding ring to call Pam. Kelly, that's Pam. Don't blame her. I never told her I was married. And if I did she, she would have told me to go home. Kelly, looking at you now, I'm ashamed of myself. All right? I mean, I work so hard on this image, on Stu Shepherd, the asshole who refers to himself in the third person, that I only proved I should be alone. I have just been dressing up as something I'm not for so long, I'm so afraid no one will like what's underneath. But here I am, just flesh and blood and weakness, and uh and I love you so fucking much. And, um, I take off this ring because it only reminds me of how I've failed you, and I don't, don't want to give you up. I want to make things better, but it may not be my choice anymore. You deserve better. See more » |
