Trivia
Clips from Hopscotch were used by The Daily Show with Jon Stewart on 31 July 2007, to accompany their take on the news that day about the FBI raid on the home of Ted Stevens, the long-time member of United States Senate representing Alaska. The clips used were from the scene showing the FBI raid on Myerson's country house, which was heavily damaged by gunfire. It was called outdated and listed as "some old movie we saw on cable".
The last names of three characters also happen to be the last names of well known novelists: Westlake (Donald E. Westlake), Ludlum (Robert Ludlum) and Follett (Ken Follett). Additionally, though the character of Carla Fleming is not called solely by her last name in the film, her last name is also shared with another famed novelist (Ian Fleming).

Famous quotes containing the word trivia:
“Pop artists deal with the lowly trivia of possessions and equipment that the present generation is lugging along with it on its safari into the future.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
“The most refined skills of color printing, the intricate techniques of wide-angle photography, provide us pictures of trivia bigger and more real than life. We forget that we see trivia and notice only that the reproduction is so good. Man fulfils his dream and by photographic magic produces a precise image of the Grand Canyon. The result is not that he adores nature or beauty the more. Instead he adores his camera—and himself.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
