Minority Report

The "Precogs" were all named after famous mystery writers: Dashiell Hammett, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and Dame Agatha Christie.

At the start of the film, the Precogs predict a murder will take place in which Howard Marks will kill his wife Sarah Marks and her lover Donald Dubin. However, the PreCrime team have trouble pinpointing where the murder will take place as there are eight "Howard Marks" listed in the local district. But since his wife's name was given as a victim, it seems unlikely that they would have any trouble finding their address, particularly given the level of technology at their disposal and the extent to which people are "databased" in that era. However, the reason it took the PreCrime team so long to locate the address is because the Markses had just moved, and their new address was not yet known.

The DreamWorks and 20th Century Fox logos appear underwater, which ties into the opening shot of Agatha in the tank.

Spencer Treat Clark was credited as "Sean at Nine" in release prints of the film, because he appeared in a scene that was deleted so close to the film's release that the credits had already been finalized and couldn't be changed. Clark played a grown-up version of Anderton's young son Sean, in a fantasy dream scene that took place after Anderton has been put in containment toward the end of the film. The entire scene was removed from the film just before release.
