Commander Harvey Englehart has a framed picture with 2022 in the middle. If you look closely the picture is the state of Oregon upside-down
Taron Egerton was in a 2014 british tv show called The Smoke about firefighters.
The fictional state of "Orrington" in which the show takes place, is an obvious play on words of mixing the Pacific Northwest states of Oregon and Washington. From the topography, the film takes place in the Pacific Northwest and actual filming was done in British Columbia, Canada; furthermore, the fictional large city in the show is called Columbia.
Dennis Lehane, Taron Egerton and Greg Kinnear previously worked on Black Bird (2022) together. Ray Liotta, who also worked on Black Bird (2022), previously portrayed John Orr in Au coeur des flammes (2002), which John Leguizamo also starred in.
