| Trivia | Associate producer Brock Norman Brock, supporting actor Tom Hardy, and cinematographer Morten Søborg shortly after this film would work with Nicolas Winding Refn.

| Goofs | When Detective Jackson is looking through Daniel Leone's criminal history, one of the entries states that he was charged with possession of "crystal methadone." There is no such substance. It would either be crystal methamphetamine or simply methadone - most likely the former. See more » |
