Trivia
When Sarah (Lara Flynn Boyle) is in her apartment watching the news and realizes that the real Lt. Raymond Garcia (Pepe Serna) is not the guy in her house (Loco Martinez played by Marco Rodriguez), she switches to another channel. The movie displayed is Tarantula, from 1955, one of the first movies Clint Eastwood appeared on, playing for a few seconds the role of the jet squadron leader (uncredited). This can be seen at around 1:23:54.
Quotes
David Ackerman:
Look! I didn't come here because you're my father... I came her because you're the richest person I know!
Goofs
During the transfer of the money a suitcase is standing on the road. When the suitcase is picked up, it's lying down.
Alternate Versions
The Australian television version was inconsistently edited for sexual and violent content. The scene between Liesl and Pulovski ends after she explains the purpose of the bullet she wears, yet the full sequence is shown on the video screen later when Ackerman rescues Pulovski. All sequences of 'three bullet death', such as Sarah killing Loco and the "Amateur" shootings of Ackerman and Liesl are reduced to one bullet. The final shooting of Strom is heard but not shown.
