- TriviaDuring pre-production, Elias Koteas traveled to Ohio to meet a man who could speak Syrian-Aramaic to help him with his dialogue. The man was happy to help, but wouldn't utter the curse words in the speech for religious reasons. Therefore, the producers had to find another Syrian-Aramaic speaker who was willing to speak the profane lines for Koteas.
- GoofsWhen Hobbes returns to the wood cabin towards the end of the film, he enters and stands looking around for a moment, with a window to his left. A definite human shadow can be seen walking past the window, despite Hobbes being alone.

John Hobbes: C'mon Azazel. Open your eyes
[sticks a cigarette in his mouth]
John Hobbes: Look around sometimes.
[lights his cigarette]
Azazel: What's this? You don't smoke anymore.
John Hobbes: You're right I don't. You know why? Because cigarettes kill. Especially cigarettes laced with poison.
Azazel: Bullshit.
John Hobbes: The same kind of poisons you used to kill my brother.
Azazel: Uh, uh, fuck you.
John Hobbes: Yeah I know. It was so sweet.
[singing]
John Hobbes: Time, is on my side. Yes it is.
Azazel: Fuck you, motherfucker.
John Hobbes: [picks up his gun] Goodbye, Jonesy.

Second, some of the users making comments seemed to have missed the plot. Those people who are saying it doesn't have enough action clearly have a limited appreciation for film genres. Stick to your fast paced action movies, and don't bother writing your limited opinions about other movies genres. You don't have the mental capacity to take in anything other that brain numbing gun fights, explosions and car chases.
To say that," Goodman is smoking in the movie and I don't like smoking", OR they said "'Oh my God' in the movie and I don't like that", really has no relevance as to the validity of whether the movie was good or not. If people are so intolerant , then stick to watch lawm bowls. This is a brilliant movie that should not be missed.
All of which I like, but then, I like many different types of movies.
