      Leonardo DiCaprio described his character as being in a "constant, 24-hour panic attack."
    • Goofs
      (at around 2h 5 mins) When Sullivan pulls up Costigan's record in the computer, his date of birth is initially listed as 11/7/1984. The next time he pulls up the record, the date is 11/7/1980.
    • Quotes

      Ellerby: [jokingly with Colin] I'm gonna go have a smoke right now. You want a smoke? You don't smoke, do ya, right? What are ya, one of those fitness freaks, huh? Go fuck yourself.

    • Crazy credits
      The title doesn't appear on screen until nearly 20 minutes into the movie.

      In India, the film was given an A (adults only) certificate after the visual of Frank Costello holding a dildo was deleted. This change is visible in the Hindi dubbed VCD which shows a slight frame jump.

    Martin Scorsese never disappoints
    I have yet to watch a good or a very good Martin Scorsese movie. Every movie I watched is a 10. Also, old Jack Nicholson is as good as young Jack Nicholson.
