Movie references: Images from King Kong (1933), The Beast From
20,000 Fathoms (1953), and Them! (1954) are hidden
within the film. Each image is seen extremely briefly, for only
a single frame, during a camera edit. The Them! picture
is shown at 00:24:08, the Beast From 20,000 Fathoms picture
is shown at 00:45:29, and the King Kong picture is shown
at 1:06:55. A brief clip of Rob and Beth at a train station from
a deleted ending is seen immediately before the King Kong
image.

Satellite appearance: At the end of the movie when Rob and Beth are filming
themselves on the ferris wheel and the camera pans out to show
the water, you can see the satellite that is responsible for waking
the monster coming down to earth in the upper right hand corner
of the shot.

Hidden audio: At the end of the closing credits there is a garbled
radio transmission which some say sounds like "Help us!".
When played backward, it says "It's still alive!"
