Trivia
The Canal Street subway station was actually filmed in Toronto's "Bay Lower" unused subway station. $150,000 was spent on set dressing alone. The TTC (Toronto Transit Commission) was so impressed with the New York conversion that they actually requested the set to be left up after filming was completed to attract future filming revenue. The set remained for about three weeks until TTC fire inspectors deemed the set a hazard (steel girders, signs and benches were plastic and wood), so the set was torn down and disposed of.
Despite the fact that this was filmed in Super 35, "Filmed in Panavision" is listed in the end credits.
Goofs
During the New York Thanksgiving parade, a Toronto street car is clearly visible. There are no streetcars in New York.
The 2s Elisabeth writes on the glass with her finger are a different shape than the ones Dr. Conrad points out after they've dug up the wrong grave. His point was that she was writing it backward, but her 2s would not have looked like 5s in reverse.
The graves in the NYC Potter's Field are not marked with wooden crosses - brush fires in the early 1900s on Hart Island destroyed the wooden grave markers and after that the graves were marked by concrete and stone markers. Also there aren't individual markers for each grave, there are over 100 coffins per site.
When they are driving the stolen boat to Hart Island they see the setting sun above the horizon. According to Conrad it is past 5:00 o'clock in the evening. On Thanksgiving Day 2001, the sun, at New York City, sets at 4:33pm. Even if it is not 2001, the sun would have set by 5:00 p. m.
