Trivia

In an interview with Rice Paper, the director compared the film to a "snowball rolling down a hill. It gets bigger and bigger and bigger, and pretty soon it's knocking down trees and consuming houses. The volume has gotten so loud that it just becomes deafening. I wanted that to be the state of mind of the Eric character. Zoe in Greek means life. Everything he does is killing life. It's all about deception and self doubt and all those horrible emotions that some people foster." See more »

Goofs

As they enter the jazz club on the night before the heist, a Dixieland band is heard and seen playing, but the drummer is obviously not touching the drums with the drum sticks. See more »

A MUCH OVERLOOKED POINT ON THE TITLE!
4 December 2001 | by (university of Sydney, Australia) – See all my reviews

This film is a dark and profound meditation on the violent life and seemingly subsequent redemption of it's main character,E Stoltz, it is however often asked why the film titled 'Killing Zoe', J Delhi's role.

Pay close attention to the fact that her character, in the films bloody climax, has her hand slashed by a crazed French bank robber. He is then smoked by at least a dozen tactical response police officers.

At the end of the film Julie Delphi is in a car with stoltz, who mistakenly thinks Delphi has been hit or injured, she replies that the blood is not hers, and ofers to show 'Z' the sights of Paris.

Earlier in the film the leader of the French gang relates to Z the fact that he has contracted HIV (or in his words Aids) therefore there is a better than average chance that Delphi contracted the virus from him during the aforementioned bloody climax.... Hence the title Killing Zoe!
