Trivia

There is a scene where Gideon and Tommy are having a conversation while walking in the street in Chinatown. The scene begins on Pell Street but continues on East Broadway. In addition, the woman who bumps into Tommy was not hired as an extra - she was a real passerby who refused to comply with the film crew's request to go around the perimeter of the shoot.
