Curiosidades

In a famous TV interview with Nicolas Winding Refn and Kim Bodnia, a reporter asked about research to make the film so realistic, the one thing the Winding Refn and Bodnia had asked them not to ask about. The interview thus became very awkward. The interview appears on some DVDs.

Scenes were shot in order.

Zlatko Buric's debut role and Mads Mikkelsen's feature film debut, having only appeared in plays and a single short film.

The film was at first going to be a 10-minute short, with director Nicolas Winding Refn in the lead role.

At the time of release in Denmark, Nicolas Winding Refn was only 25 years old.
