    • Trivia
      Al Pacino has stated that Madonna flashed him during rehearsals for this movie, opening her coat to reveal that she was naked underneath. Pacino joked that when he is old if he is observed with a beatific smile on his face, it will be because he is recalling the incident.
    • Goofs
      When Dick Tracy jumps out of a window and slides down the lamp post, he bangs his head on the curve of the pole towards the top. (This was Beatty doing his own stunt.)
    • Quotes

      Dick Tracy: No grief for Lips?

      Breathless Mahoney: I'm wearing black underwear.

      Dick Tracy: You know, it's legal for me to take you down to the station and sweat it out of you under the lights.

      Breathless Mahoney: I sweat a lot better in the dark.

    Film Noir in Technicolor
    First and Formost, this movie hits the comic strip right on the nose (it was goofy looking and freak'n violent). The one thing that always gets me is that we have detectives, feme fatales, rutheless gangsters, exploding cars and machine guns, all done in super bright rainbow colors. I find that the bright colors really pull this movie off, It conveys the whole "comic book" idea, better than the giant balloons from Batman, the verbaitum sound effects from X men, and certainly those annoying "panel" shots from hulk.
