What's left behind the scenes

  • Mr. Jinx was played by a cat named Mishka.
  • Jinx is named after the Hanna-Barbera cartoon series of the 50s-60s.
  • Greg's prayer is an excerpt from the song "Day by Day" from the musical "Godspell" (1973).
  • Jim Carrey was once cast as Greg Focker.
  • Before giving the blessing before the meal, Ben Stiller says, "I'm not a rabbi." In a previous film in his career – "Keeping the Faith" (2000) – he plays a rabbi.
  • Writer Jerry Stahl co-wrote the "milking the cat" scene.
  • Footage from home videos – Teri Polo, filmed by her ex-husband Tony Moore.
  • The restaurant scene was filmed in Port Washington, at the Louis restaurant in New York. The race between Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro was also filmed in downtown Port Washington.
  • When Greg climbs onto the roof after the cat, the song "Vertigo" (1958) plays.
  • According to commentary on the DVD, the chase scene was originally conceived as a parody of the film "Ronin" (1998). When the director saw how quickly the traffic lights changed color, he realized it would be quite a gag and rewrote the scene (traffic lights actually do change from green to red as quickly as shown in the film).
  • Christopher Walken could have played Jack Burns.
  • According to Teri Polo, in the scene where she and Ben Stiller kiss in her bed, and he caresses her breast, she stuffed cookies into her bra.
  • Filmmakers would not have been allowed to use the surname 'Faker' if they hadn't found a specific person with that surname.
  • Julia Stiles auditioned for the role of Pam, but dropped out of the film due to '10 Things I Hate About You' (1999).
  • Jack's house security system is a 'Magnum Alert MA1000e'.
  • Posters of bands such as 'Sepultura', 'Korn', and 'Beastie Boys' can be seen in Pam's brother's room.
  • When an urn is broken, the cat runs and urinates on Jack's mother's ashes. In the film "The Untouchables" (1987), Al Capone, played by Robert De Niro, says he wanted Eliot Ness to be dead so he could go to his house in the middle of the night and "pee" on his ashes.
  • Jack's Thai vocabulary is extremely limited, and he constantly repeated the word "What?" in various ways, creating the illusion of conversation. At the premiere screenings in Thailand, the Thais applauded Robert De Niro for his efforts.
  • In the final stage of the film, where Faker is being sent away, Pam's parting is on the right side of her head. A moment later, as she sees Faker off, the parting somehow moves to the left, and freckles appear on the actress's face.
  • Filming took place from November 8, 1999, to February 8, 2000.
  • Greg's prayer is an excerpt from the song "Day by Day" from the musical "Jesus Christ Superstar" (1973).
  • Jack's home security system is a "Magnum Alert MA1000e."
  • In Pam's brother's room, you can see posters of bands such as "Sepultura," "Korn," and "Beastie Boys."
