    • Trivia
      For in-flight viewing, several airlines deleted the sequence in which Raymond Babbitt reels off statistics on airline accidents, except Qantas. They even promoted one of the movie's writers to first class once when he travelled on their airline.
    • Goofs
      Throughout the movie, several cars are seen tailgating the Buick trying to get into the shot, and their positions vary from scene to scene.
    • Quotes

      Charlie: Who took this picture?

      Raymond: D-A-D.

      Charlie: And you lived with us?

      Raymond: Yeah, 10962 Beachcrest Street, Cincinnati, Ohio.

      Charlie: When did you leave?

      Raymond: January 12, 1965. Very snowy that day. 7.2 inches of snow that day.

      Charlie: Just after Mom died.

      Raymond: Yeah Mom died January 5, 1965.

      Charlie: You remember that day. Was I there? Where was I?

      Raymond: You were in the window. You waved to me, "Bye bye Rain Man", "Bye bye."

    • Crazy credits

    A movie that will make even the most macho man cry

    I have to say that this is Tom and Dustin's best performances by far. They are such a wonderful duo together. I love seeing how Tom reacts to Dustin's character. Two brothers, one being successful and the other mentally challenged, are finally reunited. They both learn how to live with each other and eventually learn to love each other. As for a best picture, I wasn't too sure. But the actors will impress you. I would recommend this movie to anyone. It has wonderful characters and some great laughs. But also some very touching moments. You really have to like this movie. It's too memorable to miss.
