    • Goofs
      When Pablo, Brigitte and Walter are in the Chinese restaurant, Walter finishes his aperitif in one gulp upon receiving it. However, when Pablo suggests a toast, Walter's glass is full when he picks it up. Then, he puts it down, empty, although he has not drunk from it.
    • Crazy credits
      After the credits there is a short scene in English in which Brigitte's band discuss their (lack of) love life.
