• Marty and Billy are watching Takeshi Kitano's "Violent Cop" (1989) in the cinema.
• Upon learning that the film would feature rabbits, Tom Waits – a great animal lover – agreed to star in the film without even reading the script.
• In the cemetery scene, the tombstone behind which the hitman nicknamed "Jack of Diamonds" is hiding, bears the inscription "Rourke." Mickey Rourke was originally supposed to star in the film, but was replaced by Woody Harrelson due to disagreements with the director.
• The original screenplay paid significantly more attention to the climax of the film involving a bullet hitting a Shih Tzu dog named Bonnie. Censors deemed this animal cruelty, and the screenplay had to be changed. The character played by Sam Rockwell mentions at the cemetery that "animals can't die in movies, only women can."
• The psychopath known as Zodiac, mentioned in the film, is a real-life serial killer who operated in California in the 1970s. He was never caught, and he sent letters to the police with his "signature" symbol – a crosshair, which is shown in this film in the scene at his house.
