    • Trivia
      Michael Keaton reprised his role as Ray Nicolette in a small cameo. He originally played him in another Elmore Leonard novel-adapted film, Jackie Brown (1997).
    • Goofs
      If Karen Sisco had fired a gun in the enclosed volume of a car trunk, she probably would have blown out her ear drums.
    • Quotes

      Jack Foley: It's like seeing someone for the first time, like you can be passing on the street, and you look at each other for a few seconds, and there's this kind of a recognition like you both know something. Next moment the person's gone, and it's too late to do anything about it. And you always remember it because it was there, and you let it go, and you think to yourself, 'What if I had stopped? What if I had said something?' What if, what if... it may only happen a few times in your life.

      Karen Sisco: Or once.

      Jack Foley: [softly] Or once.

    • Alternate versions
      The laserdisk/DVD versions contain the following deleted scenes.
      • The original trunk scene, much much longer with extra dialog, different lighting and more wriggling.
      • Moselle is teaching Snoopy's dog "Tuffy" to do tricks with a Frisbee while Snoopy is watching boxing on TV. Glenn calls to tell Snoopy about the Ripley job and then steals a car from a gas station.
      • In a bizarre scene in the Adams Hotel room, Buddy and Jack talk about the feeling you get when you take a bath.
      • Karen gets a lecture from her dad about relationships while he fishes ocean debris out of his jetty.
      • Extended scene of Karen questioning Adele.
      • In the yard at Lompoc, Ripley talks to Foley about fish.
      • Glenn, Snoopy, Kenneth and White Boy Bob talk in the car after the transsexual murder.
      • We see the rather gruesome transsexual murder scene. Ray Cruz talks to Karen who spots Glenn's broken glasses on the floor.
      • Ripley is released from Lompoc and we see him packing stuff from his cell and saying goodbye to Foley.
      • After the job "interview" at Ripley's office building, Foley smashes a large fish tank with a paperweight shortly before being thrown out by two security guards.
      • Foley and Buddy talk in the hotel after Foley has returned from his "socializing" with Karen
      • Putting ski masks on in the van before the Ripley job. White Boy Bob tells a story about leaving his wallet behind at a break in.

    One of the best films of the 90's
    Great film. The characters seemed believable. The dialog well written, sharp, but not overly polished, no character has a monologue. How often in the 90's do we see a thriller, or crime mystery, or a buddy film, all components the film plays with, and would consider a discussion about the script? Leonard has a way with the practical aspects of crime, the fist fight and shoot outs are awkward, characters miss their mark more often than not, they run out of gas. How often in an action film does the hero miss a shot? I'm sick to death of wildly unbelievable stories, huge explosions and car chases. The photography is very well done and the soundtrack is fantastic. Of particular note is the editing, of which the film received an oscar nomination. One of the best love scenes in a contemporary film. What you hope you get with an adult crime movie, sleek, smart and sexy.
