    • Trivia
      Jacob's line "You had sex with my grandpa, you dirty anchor baby!" was improvised by Jaeden Martell, but it was originally lost in the scene since multiple characters were talking and yelling. Michael Shannon noticed this and approached Rian Johnson, telling him that Martell had a killer line, so they made sure to go back and capture it.

    Lots of Nice Little Twists
    No, it wasn't perfect. No it was not Academy Award material. But it was a delightful story with lots of classic whodunnit elements. I thought we got to know each character well and, like in an Agatha Christie novel, fulfilled their roles. I thought Craig did a nice job and kept things moving along. Plummer was good in his limited screen time. Once again, I'm so fed up with people who decide that IMDB presents an opportunity to destroy a valid system by giving a movie such as this a rating of One. Do you really think this film ranks down there with Alligator Women on Venus. That's what the One ratings are for. It's usually because a film gets a little hype and those with no imagination or who are unhappy with their lives feel the need to throw everything off. Use lower ratings, but try to show some objectivity.

    FAQ21

    • Is there significance in Blanc's use of pressing the piano key? Is it to just get the attention of the family member being interviewed? Or is he doing it specifically when they've said something important?
    • Is the character name Harlan Thrombey an homage to the Choose Your Own Adventure book "Who Killed Harlowe Thrombey?"?
    • Just what did the note say at the end of the movie. Something about ....
