• Anthony Hopkins was considered for the role of Don Logan.
• Ray Winstone, who played Gala, was also initially considered one of the possible candidates for the role of Logan.
• Ben Kingsley once admitted that when creating the image of Don Logan, he used certain character traits of his grandmother.
• Two weeks before filming began, Ray Winston went to Spain, where he spent two weeks trying to get as dark a tan as possible and overeat to gain weight. He later called this time "the best rehearsal period" of his life.
• Ben Kingsley acted with such fury that other actors periodically forgot their lines, and the fear in their actions and words was genuinely palpable.
• At the 51st minute, when Gale and H sit in the room, a microphone appears in the upper left corner of the screen.
• Two weeks before filming began, Ray Winston went to Spain, where he spent two weeks trying to get as dark a tan as possible and indulging in food to gain weight. He later referred to this time as "the best rehearsal period" of his life.
