City of Angels

The dedication "For Dawn" refers to producer Dawn Steel, who died of a brain tumor on December 20, 1997, four months before this film's release.

When Maggie sees the truck she is about to hit towards the end of the movie, the truck is coming from the right side of the road and making a right turn. Later on when Nicolas Cage comes around to where Maggie is lying, the truck position is in the opposite direction, like it came from the left side of the road.

The DVD contains some additional/extended scenes:

• Seth studies Maggie in her home while she is preparing a bath.
• Maggie's dog Earl leaves her bed at night and she turns the light on. He sits beside Seth who is watching her. As she can't see Seth she just goes back to sleep.
• The first surgery scene is extended.
• Maggie prepares dinner while Seth watches her.
• Seth and Maggie visit Nathaniel Messinger at his bed.
• After Nathaniel told Maggie that Seth can fall, she goes and searches for angels in the hospital.
• A montage of small tidbits that had to be cut like Seth talking to a Vietnamese woman or him trying to feel the blowing wind at the beach.
