Trivia
Co-writer and director Mary Harron and star Christian Bale have a connection with Batman. Harron once directed a Batman special for the BBC series The Late Show (1988), which showed the character's evolution from comic book to feature film. Bale is perhaps best known for playing Batman in The Dark Knight trilogy.

Goofs
(at around 9 mins) When Patrick is listening to his new Robert Palmer tape, you see the cab drive by an FDNY ambulance. FDNY didn't take over ambulance services until the early 1990s.
Alternate Versions
In the television edit, there are these changes:
- Though the hooker scene is kept in, the threesome sex scene part is cut off, and after starting "Sussudio" it cuts to them with the light off. When Christian Bale gets up, his butt is not shown.
- Christian Bale's butt is also removed from "Morning Routine" scene
- Curses and some innuendo ("he won't give the maitre'd head") are cut. The line "I want you to clean your vagina" is kept however.
