The scene where Domino, Ed, and Choco are standing outside Claremont's office with their guns is a reference to a photo of Domino Harvey and Ed Martinez outside Celes King III's office, that was in the newspaper article where Tony Scott first heard about Domino. The photo was also printed on the cover page of all drafts of the film's shooting script. See more »

Based on a true story...sort of. What a great movie. Soundtrack is perfect, plot is good, direction interesting, but let's face it what really matters are the characters. It's all about the characters and this movie is packed full of fully developed, incredibly intriguing characters who are expertly portrayed by a flawless cast. Not saying there are no plot holes, it's not as perfectly polished as Momento (another great movie) but close enough. The truth is I could have just watched these characters take a walk through a mall and been entertained. Edger Ramirez is an actor I'll be looking forward to seeing again. I can't believe I missed this one on big screen!! 10/10, this is a must see and I can't wait for the deleted/alternate scenes on the DVD (already out, but I don't have it yet!)
