    • Trivia
      In the scene in Germany, the pregnant woman who goes into labor in the back of the jeepney was played by Kidlat's real life wife Katrin De Guia and the child she was carrying was their first child Kidlat De Guia. In the film, you can hear the woman say his full name, Kidlat Gottlieb Kalaayan.
    • Goofs
      When Kidlat proudly displays his envelope supposedly from Voice of America in Washington DC, it has an American stamp but no postmark. Therefore, it could not have been mailed from the US or any other country.
