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.]]
10	* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
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.]]
