1 | !!Trivia related to the film: |
2 | * AcclaimedFlop: The film's budget was $42 million and it only received $8 million in box office totals. The film is nowadays looked upon more favorably. Director Kathryn Bigelow's rising profile has helped. |
3 | * TheCastShowOff: Creator/JulietteLewis did all her own vocals for the film. |
4 | * CastTheExpert: Perhaps unsurprisingly, the two young women who take tips from Lenny about how to make a girl-on-girl SQUID clip were both adult film actresses. |
5 | * CreatorKiller: Between this film and her CareerResurrection with ''Film/TheHurtLocker'' fourteen years later, Creator/KathrynBigelow only directed two films. The first, ''The Weight of Water'', was a French-American co-production that never saw a wide release in the US, and the other, ''Film/K19TheWidowmaker'', was an abortive comeback attempt that proved to be another bomb. |
6 | * FakeAmerican: British Creator/RalphFiennes as Lenny. |
7 | * FakeBrit: Canadian Creator/MichaelWincott as Philo. |
8 | * PlayingAgainstType: Creator/RalphFiennes is mostly known for playing suave, educated or authoritative characters. Here he plays a grungy, slimy 'drug'-dealing loser Lenny. |
9 | * {{Typecasting}}: On the other hand, Creator/MichaelWincott is playing the same seedy, SmugSnake villainous type once again, [[spoiler: though it's used as a RedHerring to make him seem like the BigBad.]] |

11 | ** Creator/TomCruise, Creator/AndyGarcia, Creator/MelGibson, Creator/DennisQuaid, Creator/KurtRussell, Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger, Creator/JohnTravolta and Creator/DenzelWashington were considered for Lenny. |
12 | ** [[Music/{{U2}} Bono]] was considered for Philo Gant and was close to being cast until withdrawing before filming began due to his band's busy commitment on their side project Passengers' ''Original Soundtracks 1''. |
13 | ** Creator/LanceHenriksen turned down the role of Max Peltier due to his refusal to play a [[spoiler: rapist.]] |
