* AllStarCast: This movie is absolutely stacked top to bottom with famous and memorable faces, featuring the likes of Creator/JohnnyDepp, Creator/JohnHurt, Creator/CrispinGlover, Creator/LanceHenriksen, Creator/RobertMitchum, Creator/GabrielByrne, Creator/AlfredMolina, Creator/BillyBobThornton, Creator/JaredHarris, and Music/IggyPop.
* BannedInChina: The Australian Office of Film and Literature Classification banned the film initially, considering a brief (i.e. 4 seconds) scene where a woman is being held at gunpoint while fellating a man to be gratuitous sexual violence. The distributors then delivered a prompt "what the fuck, idiots?" to the review board, who passed it with the R18+ rating.
* BoxOfficeBomb: Budget, $9 million. Box Office, $1 million.
* CreatorBacklash: Jim Jarmusch deeply regretted that [[spoiler: he killed off Nobody at the end of the film because he had become so attached to the character and that Nobody should have shot Cole without dying himself.]]
