Did you know? Richard Linklater came up with the idea for the film based on a night he spent walking around Philadelphia with Amy, a woman he met. Contrary to the movie, they stayed in touch for a while, until contact was lost. Linklater never heard from her again, not even when he became a director and Before Sunrise (1995) was released. It was not until 2010 that he found out that Amy had died in a traffic accident before the release of the first film in the trilogy. Read More

Trivia:
In the opening sequence, the couple on the train is arguing in German. The man is reading in his newspaper how 70,000 women are addicted to alcohol. The script translated the squabble as follows: "You're one of them," he says to his wife. She volleys back, saying he's the alcoholic. "I have a reason to do it. I'm married to you!" he retorts.

Most of the script was re-written by Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawke. Delpy later expressed frustration that they were not credited for their work.
