A statue based on the {{wp|Statue of Liberty}} can be seen for a mere few seconds in the final cut of the film, existing in Dinohattan's outskirts close to the junkyards area.

The scene bears a similarity to the real-life {{wp|September 11 attacks|9/11 attacks}} eight years after the film's release that permanently destroyed both of the World Trade Center towers. Parts of the buildings in the film disintegrate away like smoke in a similar fashion to how they were destroyed; additionally, if one looks very closely while the towers are being disintegrated, an airplane can be seen flying behind them, furthering the resemblance to the 9/11 attacks. | ||
