Trivia

The Pittsburgh Police badges are plastic resin casts of actual PPD badges. The props crew was given 4 badges to use, and thus all of the badges are one of only 4 numbers. This was done with the agreement that all casts and molds had to be returned to PPD so they could be destroyed once filming was complete. See more »

Goofs

Continuity: When both cars crash at the end of the opening chase, the trunk of the killer's car flies open and is badly crumpled when it rolls. Later, we see two officers force the perfectly intact trunk open and a body falls out. The body would have come out in the crash when the trunk opened. See more »
