Trivia:

The idea behind making the film actually came about when Roger Avary was scouting locations for Quentin Tarantino on Reservoir Dogs (1992). Avary found a great bank set in Los Angeles and informed Tarantino, who said that although the location was no good for Dogs, it would be good for a film set in a bank. One of Avary's scripts, Killing Zoe (1993), was almost entirely set in a bank, and with that as the motivation, the making of the film began. more

Goofs:

Continuity: When Eric changes his clip, he moves from the center to one of the side clips. After this happens Zoe gets the gun and it is back on the center clip (which is supposed to be empty.) more

Quotes:

Ultra-violent and depraved... a must see., 9 December 2000
Author: Jack Inbox from Austin TX USA

"This is the real Paris..." Killing Zoe is a Tarantino-esque joy ride through the under belly of Paris. A sexy, gratifyingly violent study of drug induced madness and moral corruption. The story involves a bank heist that "can't go wrong" and the film maintains an unrelenting intensity from start to finish. Eric Stoltz is flawless, as usual. If you like Reservoir Dogs - absolutely see this one. One warning: there is some French spoken with accompanying subtitles.
