What's left behind the scenes
- James Franco and Benicio del Toro were initially cast in the leading roles. But in the end, Franco's role went to Chris Evans, and he himself played Marty Freeman, while Ray Liotta replaced del Toro.
- The role of Deborah Cooklinski could have gone to Maggie Gyllenhaal, but she declined due to pregnancy. Ultimately, the role went to Winona Ryder.
- Before filming began, director Ariel Vromen shot a test scene with Michael Shannon as Richard Kuklinski and with Michael Winckott as Robert Prongay. Ultimately, the role of Richard remained with Shannon, and Chris Evans was cast instead of Winckott.
- Although Richard Kuklinski is referred to as Polish throughout the film, his mother was the daughter of Irish immigrants from Dublin.
- While in prison, Richard Kuklinski claimed that, along with four other men, he was responsible for the kidnapping and murder of former truck drivers' union boss Jimmy Hoffa, which took place on July 30, 1975, in a restaurant parking lot in Detroit. Their team was allegedly commissioned by Hoffa by a man named Tony Provenzano, the leader of the Genovese crime family. Kuklinski was paid $40,000 for the murder. Kuklinski said he knocked Hoffa unconscious with a club and then stabbed him in the back of the head with a hunting knife. Hoffa's body was placed in the trunk of a car, which was then crushed and sold for scrap metal to Japanese car manufacturers. The facts surfaced only after Kuklinski's death in March 2006 in a book by Philip Carlo and will likely never be confirmed.
- Many of the cars driving down the street in 1976 only appeared after 1977. These include a Chevrolet Malibu (1978), a Chevrolet Impala taxi (1977), and a parked Oldsmobile Delta 88 station wagon (1977). The parked Ford Econoline's rectangular headlights only appeared after 1979.
- The hospital has visual fire alarms in the corridors. Such alarms only appeared after 1990.
- When Ice goes to shoot Marty Freeman, his gloves appear and disappear on his hands with each shot change.
- Before filming began, director Ariel Vromen shot a test scene with Michael Shannon as Richard Kuklinski and Michael Wincott as Robert Prongay. Ultimately, Shannon retained the role of Richard, and Chris Evans replaced Wincott.
- Although Richard Kuklinski is referred to as Polish throughout the film, his mother was the daughter of Irish immigrants from Dublin.
- Winona Ryder deliberately familiarized herself only with the pages of the script involving her character. She believed this would better allow her to portray the main character's wife, who is completely unaware of his true activities.
