| Trivia | John Hurt said multiple times that he felt that this film represented his best work on film. See more » |
| Goofs | When the mailman delivers mail to Ronnie Bostock's mailbox,he raises the mailbox flag, presumably to signal to the resident that mail has been delivered. (Ronnie's girlfriend, seeing the mailbox flag has been raised, seems to interpret the signal accordingly.) Although it may be the convention for mail delivery wherever the director/writer is from, it is not the case on Long Island, where it is the custom for the resident to raise the mailbox flag to alert the mailman that mail is in the mailbox waiting to be picked up. Once the mail has been picked up, the mailman lowers the flag - the opposite of what occurred in the film. See more » |

Taxi Driver:
The sign says "no smoking." Giles De'Ath: No, the sign says "thank you for not smoking." As I am smoking, I don't expect to be thanked. See more » |
