What's left behind the scenes
- Mark Isham replaced James Horner as the film's composer.
- David Fincher originally planned to shoot a 3-hour black and white film. Fincher later left the project, in part due to doubts about whether he would be able to film everything exactly as he envisioned.
- The film 'Black Orchid' opened the 63rd Venice Film Festival in 2006.
- The character of Rose McGowan (Sheryl Saddon) is based on a real person, Cheryl Melond, who shared a room with Elizabeth Short and six other girls.
- All filming took place on sound stages in Bulgaria and Los Angeles.
- The story of "The Black Dahlia" was featured as one of the episodes in the computer game "L.A. Noire".
- At the 18-minute mark of the film, Dwight, Kay, and Lee are watching "The Man Who Laughs" (1928) in a cinema.
