Trivia
Clancy Brown shadowed NYPD homicide detectives for two weeks. Jamie Lee Curtis also took part in several weeks at the NYPD Academy, including its firearms training.

Goofs
Megan's suspension hinges on the fact that the robber's gun wasn't found and the main witness, the cashier, provides an unclear statement even though the gun is right in his face. But at least two other people - the old woman in line after him and another male customer - were up close during and after the confrontation.

Quotes
Eugene Hunt: Death is the best kick of all. That's why they save it for last.

Top nominee for the Film Firearm Foulup award!

A psycho killer scribes Jamie Lee Curtis' name onto the brass shells of some cartridges, loads them into his big revolver, then blows away strangers in a park. Detectives find the empty shells, so investigate JLC. Never mind that revolvers don't eject shells as semi-auto pistols do. Never mind that detectives would have known that the shells had been planted deliberately. Never mind that people don't write their names on cartridges. Correcting this film's technical inaccuracies would destroy its whole plot. Could the reason behind such silliness be a profound misunderstanding of the phrase, "a bullet with your name on it?"
