Trivia

Mickey Rourke originally had a role, but he walked off the set when the producers refused to let him include his pet chihuahua in the movie.

Filmed in 1999 but didn't come out until 2001 on DVD and cable television.

Dennis Hopper who co-stars in this film with Ice-T, directed the film, "Colors" starring Sean Penn and Robert Duvall in which Ice-T wrote and performed the theme song for in 1988, which was a best selling album.

The women we see in Zippo (Michael Madsen's characters) house are some well known soft core porn actresses seen in late night films on Showtime and Cinemax at the time which included the most popular one at the time, Regina Russell the redhead who we see in bed before Jack calls Zippo in his bedroom minutes later. The reason for this is that Madsen's character is a porno producer and this subplot was cut from the film.

Jack Sweeney is an ex-con which is explains why he can't get a legitimate job and is rejected by everyone in the film's opening moments.
