TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Bill Paxton's father plays the old man who confronts Paxton's character in the feed store ("Are you mean to tell me that there were five weeks last month?")

During a 2002 interview on the National Public Radio program "Fresh Air," Bill Paxton told interviewer Terry Gross that he didn't know that his own father had been cast in this movie (in the small role of Mr. Schmitt) until he arrived at a production office at the start of filming and saw his father's headshot on the wall among the other cast members'. It turned out that John Paxton had written a letter to director Sam Raimi saying, "I've always admired your films, and I was wondering if there were any small parts that I'd possibly be right for." And Raimi gave him an audition.

A scene with Billy Bob Thornton and Bill Paxton was lost by Northwest Airlines in January 1998 while in transit from Minnesota to Los Angeles. The missing scene had been shot in Minnesota. The film was insured, and the missing scene was re-shot.

Scott B. Smith originally conceived his story as a screenplay but decided to turn it into a novel first before writing a screenplay based on that.

The bar scenes were shot in Delano Minnesota. The bar used in the scenes was an old bar that was changed into a private residence in combination with the apartment above. The only real bar in town did not meet filming needs so the crew used the private residence and fixed up the interior to meet the look they were going for.

Popular Dialogues

"[Hank talks to the FBI agent about their stories to the police] Neil Baxter: Looks like we're both gonna have an awful lot of explaining to do. Hank Mitchell: Just me. [Hank shoots the gun into Baxter's head]"

"[Jacob notices the crows in the trees overhead] Jacob Mitchell: Those things are always waiting on something to die, so they can eat it, right? Weird... What a weird job."
