Trivia:

To anyone who's ever trained (or even fed) birds, it's obvious the doves flying into Frankie Paige's hands are eating from her palms.

Goofs:

Continuity: The subway interior shots correctly show a Pittsburgh subway car, but some exterior long shots show a car clearly marked with the logo of the New York Metropolitan Transit Authority. The exteriors were reused from Money Train (1995) (see trivia).

Dr. Reston: Do you have any stress at work?
Frankie: I cut hair.

You missed the point

I do admit this movie really questions catholic morals but thats not what its about... the film was about showing a diferent a view on catholosism and therefore shouldnt be viewed by catholics who aren't into that type of thing. Its odd but for some reason a book all about the universe and someone who knows all about the universe is written only by onlookers and bystanders. The people who made the movie are not saying that it did or didn't happen but it is possible that these onlookers might have made a mistake on how Jesus and God want us to be. All this movie does is try to make you think deeper about religion, and I love it for that. If your like me you would really like "Dogma" too ;)
