Trivia
During the scene where Charlie is almost shot by Carface, he and Anne-Marie pass by "Bluth's Bakery" - a reference to director Don Bluth.
Quotes
Carface:
Charlie's alive, and I know he's got the girl. Killer, this is strike two. You're out.
Killer:
No, boss! I have one more strike, boss! Honest!
Goofs
Charlie brings pizza to Flo and her pups. Pizza would have been unknown in New Orleans in 1939. It did not become popular all over the United States until after World War II.
Crazy Credits
The credits, featuring a choral symphony, are interrupted by Charlie, who complains that just because "we're all dead doesn't mean the music has to be." The heavenly whippet (Melba Moore, a gospel singer) agrees, and a rollicking gospel rendition begins. A scene featuring Carface and the heavenly whippet shows Carface stealing his own watch as Charlie did, with the whippet chasing him. Charlie appears, and coyly says, "He'll be back", and winks at the camera.
Alternate Versions
The VHS releases omit the "Distributed by MGM/UA" text.
