  • While filming the scene in which Colin Farrell's and Al Pacino's characters go to a restaurant, Al Pacino accidentally damaged the car they were driving. This is clearly visible when he parks at the restaurant.

  • The idea for the scene where the character played by Colin Farrell tells girls in a bar that he "just got out of prison" came from the actor himself. He said that he once used that line to pick up a girl at a bar, and it worked. The producers liked the improvisation, and the line made it into the film.
