Trivia
(At around one h 4 mins) When Katniss is in the archery simulator, her targets resemble her fellow tributes. Notably, one throws Brutus's spears, one hurls axes like Johanna, and one carries a trident like Finnick.

Goofs
(at around 2h 5 mins) When Katniss pulls a wire from the lightning-struck tree down toward the beach, the wire gets stuck further up the hill. That shouldn't affect her ability to keep moving because she is holding the coil.

Quotes
Peeta Mellark: Katniss, I don't... I don't know kind of deals you made with Haymitch, but he made me promises too.
[Pulls off the necklace from around his neck]
Peeta Mellark: If you die, and I live, I'd have nothing. Nobody else that I care about.
Katniss Everdeen: Peeta.
Peeta Mellark: It's different for you. Your family needs you.
[Opens locket to reveal three pictures - Gale, Prim, and her Mother]
Peeta Mellark: You have to live. For them.
Katniss Everdeen: What about you?
Peeta Mellark: Nobody needs me.
Katniss Everdeen: I do. I need you.

Crazy credits
The ending of the film has the Catching Fire logo shift into the Mockingjay one to tease the future of the films.

Alternate versions
Blu-ray Disc versions of the film feature the IMAX scenes in a taller aspect ratio (16:9/1.78:1), thus staying more true to the original theatrical exhibition, similar to what was done with the Blu-ray releases for the Christopher Nolan Batman movies.

This movie is long, but it doesn't feel watered down or stretched out

From the acting to the sets to the special effects, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is an exceptional film. This movie is long, but it doesn't feel watered down or stretched out - there is plenty of story and action to fill the time. Plus, Jennifer Lawrence doesn't have to carry the movie on her own. The supporting cast does an excellent job, as well. This film can't really stand on its own, but it's still a fun ride and a well-done adaptation of the book.
