TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

The film cast includes one Oscar winner: Chris Cooper; and three Oscar nominees: David Strathairn, John Sayles and Angela Bassett.

The dramatic narration performed in the cop bar by Bobby (Jace Alexander) is from the opening of the late 50s TV show Highway Patrol.

Due to legal rights issue, the film has never been released on DVD or Blu-ray. Amazon Prime only offers the pan-and-scan version online over John Sayles' preferred widescreen version.

Gina Gershon only had a small role, but she said it led to getting several offers for other projects.

Popular Dialogues

"Wynn: All the problems we're hearing about tonight, the unemployment, the drugs, the street crimes, those will always be the highest when they people have the least education. So you'll can pay now or you can pay later. I mean if you have a brain tumor you wouldn't shop around for the cheapest surgeon you'll look for the best and that's what we're voting on tonight: the best for our children. Or do we sell out their futures for few tax cuts? Thank you."

"Zip: Figures. We finally get a chick in the band, and she's a lesbian. Bobby: How do you know? Zip: I asked her if she wanted go out with me, she said No. Bobby: Zip, this town's full of chicks who won't go out with you. Zip: Yeah. Lesbians, all of 'em."
