[edit] Trivia
- Sean Connery was originally offered the role of Ethan Powell.
- Missy Lantz was so disturbed by the on-set intensity of the film that she asked to be removed from the production.
- After takes with Cuba Gooding Jr., Anthony Hopkins would routinely say "Show me the money!" in reference to Cuba's character in Jerry Maguire (1996).
[edit] Continuity errors
Continuity: When Theo goes to visit Lynn at her home it is late at night, yet once inside the house, daylight is coming through the windows.
