Cameo
Christopher McQuarrie: The writer can be seen as the police officer at the very end of the film, on the left hand side of the frame as Dave Kujan looks for Verbal Kint. He is visibly laughing at the camera, in a nod and wink gesture to the audience who got bamboozled.
The idea for this movie started only with the concept of a movie poster of five men in a lineup.
Christopher McQuarrie had previously worked for a detective agency, and this influenced the depiction of criminals and law enforcement officials in the script.
Shot on a budget of $6 million over a period of 35 days.
