Michael Keaton reprised his role as Ray Nicolette in a small cameo. He originally played him in another Elmore Leonard novel-adapted film, Jackie Brown (1997).
Listed as one of George Clooney's favorite films on his resumé. He said, "It was the first time where I had a say, and it was the first good screenplay I'd read where I just went 'That's it.' Even though it didn't do very well box-office wise, we sort of tanked again, it was a really good film."
During their DVD commentary, Steven Soderbergh and screenwriter Scott Frank reveal that the cast members ad-libbed several memorable lines in the script. Don Cheadle wrote the line, "in a situation like this, there's a high potentiality for the common motherfucker to bitch out."
The mug shot of Jack Foley (George Clooney) (about which Karen (Jennifer Lopez) says, "He doesn't even look like that") is the mug shot of Clooney's character Seth Gecko from From Dusk Till Dawn (1996).
Sandra Bullock almost got the part of Karen Sisco, but director Steven Soderbergh was against it. He said: "I spent some time with Clooney and Bullock, and they actually did have a great chemistry. But it was for the wrong movie. I'm sure they could do a movie together. But not an Elmore Leonard movie." Clooney and Bullock appeared in Gravity (2013). Bullock would also appear in Ocean's Eight (2018), a spin-off of the Clooney/Soderbergh "Ocean's" franchise, as the sister of Clooney's character, Danny Ocean.
"Jack Foley: It's like seeing someone for the first time, like you can be passing on the street, and you look at each other for a few seconds, and there's this kind of a recognition like you both know something. Next moment the person's gone, and it's too late to do anything about it. And you always remember it because it was there, and you let it go, and you think to yourself, 'What if I had stopped? What if I had said something?' What if, what if... it may only happen a few times in your life. Karen Sisco: Or once. Jack Foley: [softly] Or once."
"Maurice "Snoopy" Miller: [realizing his gun is empty, as Foley points one at him] You don't have an extra clip I can use, do you? Jack Foley: No, I don't. Maurice "Snoopy" Miller: You ain't never shot a gun before, have you? Jack Foley: Not until recently, no. Maurice "Snoopy" Miller: You nervous? Jack Foley: A little, yeah. Maurice "Snoopy" Miller: You know, in a situation like this, there's a high potentiality for the common motherfucker to bitch out. Jack Foley: So I figure, why take a chance? [pulls the trigger]"
