Trivia
When Tony Scott came aboard this film, he was already signed on to direct Enemy of the State (1998), so he decided to use it as a guinea pig to experiment with the new visual styles and ideas that he wanted to bring to his future film.
Quotes
Gil Renard:
Excited and anxious, I await my dream / To escape, applaud and embrace my team / Opening day I always can trust / It's just for this high that I crazily lust / Return of our hero does brighten the days / Just briefly my troubles get lost in the haze...
Goofs
The San Francisco Giants' number 11 is retired (Carl Hubbell). Undoubtedly the producers chose this number as to not offend the owner of a number that is still in regular use.
