- Awesome, Dear Boy: Just like George Clooney on O Brother, Where Art Thou?, Billy Bob Thornton was so eager to work with The Coen Brothers that he signed on without having read the script.
- DVD Commentary: The only one The Coen Brothers have done.
- Inspiration for the Work: The film was inspired by a poster that showed various haircuts from the 1940s that The Coen Brothers had seen while filming The Hudsucker Proxy.
- Throw It In!: The actor portraying the piano teacher, Adam Alexi-Malle, plays the opening of the Piano Concerto #1 by Franz Liszt while talking to Ed about Birdie. This was spontaneously done as the Coens were unaware that Adam was in fact an accomplished concert pianist. This is all the more impressive when you consider that the Coens are among the most perfectionist directors out there this side of Kubrick.
- Uncredited Role: Jennifer Jason Leigh was not credited in the film for her brief appearance as a female prison inmate (she was mentioned in the "Special Thanks" section though).
