The thousand yen note Hiro gives the newsie is worth about $8.50, more than enough to pay for the comic. In fact, as he runs off, Hiro yells to the man in Japanese to keep the change. [Edit Info]
The address on the Cadillac's registration (37 Parker St) doesn't match the street number on Niki's curb (9734). Whether this is a continuity error or a clue is not yet apparent. [Edit Info]
The license number on Niki's car (329OCX) does not match the number printed on her registration (307RTH). [Edit Info]
According to the back page of Hiro's copy of 9th Wonders!, Isaac Mendez lives at 215 Reed St. #7, New York, New York, 10010. [Edit Info]
The NYPD detective in Isaac's apartment notes that Hiro is a member of the "Merry Marvel Marching Society", a Marvel Comics fan club that was disbanded in 1971. Given that Hiro's age is given as 24, he would have had to have joined eleven years before he was born. Of course, Hiro's a big enough comic fan that it's possible he made his own membership card. [Edit Info]
At the end of Don't Look Back, Hiro returns from the future to the Tokyo subway car where he left at the end of Genesis. The filming of this scene involved blue-screening due to the transition between the explosion approaching the police station and Hiro standing in the subway. However, the shot of the subway used in the blue-screen background already includes Hiro with his arm raised, gripping a safety bar. [Edit Info]
In the scene where Hiro is being interrogated by the police for allegedly killing Isaac, there is a typographical error in the subtitles. After "If you let me make a phone call" appears, watch out for "my English speaking friend will clear everthing up." [Edit Info]
The dummy that was used for Isaac's dead corpse shares a striking resemblance with the corpse of the unnamed male in the photo Mr. Bennet showed Eden in Homecoming. It is highly probable that the two dummies are the same. [Edit Info]
