Trivia

When Jackie Boy and his "troops" enter Shellie's apartment, one of them is wearing a t-shirt with a peace sign embedded with a star and flag (the symbol also appears as one of Becky's (Alexis Bledel) earrings). This is the symbol of PAX, the paramilitary peace force from Frank Miller's Martha Washington series of graphic novels, beginning with "Give Me Liberty." See more »

Goofs

Continuity: When Hartigan was shot in the back by Bob, we could see the location of everybody on the pier. Bob is in the back, young Nancy is sitting, Hartigan, and then Rourke Jr. is on the floor. Hartigan staggers a little and yet in the next shot he's at the pier's edge which is 6 feet from where he should be. See more »
