Trivia
Because of the way the movie was shot, Mickey Rourke (Marv) and Elijah Wood (Kevin) never met until after this movie was released.

Goofs
When Nancy is dancing, she is alternately wearing/not wearing gloves between shots.

Quotes
John Hartigan: An old man dies. A young woman lives. A fair trade. I love you, Nancy.

Crazy credits
In the opening credits, each of the actor's names is shown with a frame from the comic, featuring their character.

Alternate versions
December 2005 DVD reissue included an extended, reedited version of the film. The four story lines were separated into individual short films, with about seven minutes of additional footage added, marketed as approximately 25, but about thirteen of those minutes are credits added to each story and five come from marketing exaggeration.

Connections
Edited into Everything Wrong with...: Everything Wrong with Watchmen in 17 Minutes or Less (2016)

Beautiful!

I'm only a marginal comics fan - I read a bunch of stuff over the course of a year or two in college and haven't read much at all since. Frank Miller was my favorite writer then and the I always loved the Sin City series. I didn't realize the movie was even being made until I saw the notice for the preview screening (if that's an indication of how much I follow comics these days).

This movie was as perfect an adaptation of those books as I could imagine. The look, cast, atmosphere, everything was just spot on. The stories were all gripping and intertwined with each other nicely and I thought the brief Josh Hartnett spots were great bookends to the movie. I was amazed the entire length of the screening.

If you're into comics at all you'll love this movie. You won't be disappointed. I'm not sure how to recommend it to others but you certainly don't need to be a comics fan to enjoy it. I loved it without reservation.
