Greece:K-17 Trivia: Subliminal frames from the Ring video are inserted in the film. For example, the 'Ring' image
can be glimpsed for a fraction of a second in the transition between the ferry/horse sequence and Rachel's car drive to Anna
Morgan's farm on Moesko Island. And on the DVD of The Ring, if you try to slow motion rewind back to see one of the images,
the DVD won't let you, causing you to doubt whether you actually saw it.
(more) Goofs: Continuity: When Noah is at the supermarket buying cigarettes, he pulls out of his pocket
a bunch of junk such as coins, trash, and an old pack of cigarettes and dumps it on the counter. In the next shot of the counter,
all the junk is gone except for a coin, and the old pack of cigarettes.
(more) Quotes: Dr. Grasnik: See, when you live on an island you catch a cold, it's everybody's cold.
Rachel Keller: No offense, ma'am, but what the hell does that mean?
Dr. Grasnik: It means ever since that girl's been gone, things have been better.
