Trivia
In preparation for his role, Shia LaBeouf worked extensively with traders and researchers on the world of finance and economy. He even invested $20,000 and ended up making more than $400,000. A few people who trained him were later arrested for illegal acts of trading.

Goofs
When he hands the Chinese the Johnny Walker as a gift, he does not say what the subtitles indicates as "This is for you -- American Whiskey". What he says is actually translated as "I think you will like this".

Quotes
Gordon Gekko: Payback. Except I'm not in that business anymore - because the one thing I learned in jail is that money is not the prime asset in life. Time is.

Alternate versions
There are two versions, the theatrical release, and the one presented at Cannes for the film's debut. The runtimes are, respectively: "2h 13m (133 min)" and "2h 16m (136 min) (Cannes)".

Another movie ruined in part by a song score

You like songs, that's nice, they belong on the radio. There were so many dramatic moments ruined in this film by pushing in a song and turning it up LOUDER AND LOUDER, to try to make up for a dramatic moment that was lost by using a song. Dramatic underscore that's written by a real film composer is what makes the music work in a film. Stuffing songs into it is nothing more than the production company trying to make money selling a soundtrack album that has no real relationship to the film. You might notice on soundtracks they include songs that weren't even in the film! Ever since David Chase ruined The Sopranos with poorly placed songs people have come to accept this as what they should do. Get back to the basics of music scoring.

The plot was truly horrible. So many disjointed ideas that didn't come together to form any sort of story.
