What's left behind the scenes
- As a promotional stunt, paper bags were distributed to those attending the late-night screening of this film at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF).
- The name Ichi means 'one,' so he wears a yellow number 1 on his costume.
- Kakihara's scars on the sides of his mouth are known as the Glasgow smile, or the Chelsea smile, because organized crime in these British cities often leaves such a mark on their enemies.
- Director Takashi Miike initially intended to engage the original manga's author, Hideo Yamamoto, as the screenwriter, to write the script entirely in the form of a manga. However, the idea had to be abandoned when Yamamoto felt he would be unable to complete the script due to a creative crisis.
- Kakihara's ringtone is the film's musical theme.
- For the scene in which his character is hung on hooks and tortured, actor Susumu Terajima required 12 hours of makeup and other preparation, followed by another 12 hours to film the scene.
- Although almost every member of the yakuza carries a gun, only two shots were fired throughout the entire film, and no one was killed by them.
- When Kakihara (Tadanobu Asano) is attacked on the street, protective padding is visible under his clothing.
- The name Ichi means "one," which is why he wears the yellow number 1 on his costume.
