Although Billie Frechette was never given a "third degree" interrogation by the FBI, as shown in the movie, the FBI agents did, in fact, perform similar tactics on Helen Nelson (the wife of Baby Face Nelson), Alvin Karpis, and a John Dillinger associate in Chicago named James Probasco. In the instance of Probasco, he ended up falling to his death from a upper-floor window. Offically, it is believed he committed suicide in order to avoid further interrogation. However, some historians believe that the FBI agents interrogating Probasco attempted to make him talk by hanging him out of a window, and that they lost their grip on him.
While filming on location in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, a boy, aged eleven, told Johnny Depp he loved his Fedora hat, and would like to have one like it. Depp told the boy he would see what he could do about that. After filming finished, Depp sent the boy the hat in the mail.
In the commentary, Michael Mann reports that a crew member pointed out that the date was April 22nd. Mann then realized that they were filming on the anniversary of the actual shoot-out of the Little Bohemia lodge.
John Dillinger's lawyer at Crown Point, Louis Piquett (pronounced "pick it"), never went to law school. He passed the bar on his fourth attempt, receiving his license to practice in 1920.
For John Dillinger's famous escape from Crown Point Jail, the film makers decided to film at the real jail, which had been closed and turned into a historical museum when the new jail opened in the 70s. They dressed the jail and store fronts on the square to its original condition, as it would've appeared in 1933. They also filmed the Little Bohemia shoot-out at the real lodge. Johnny Depp was staying in the same room the real Dillinger stayed in.
"John Dillinger: I was raised on a farm in Moooresville, Indiana. My mama died when I was three, my daddy beat the hell out of me cause he didn't know no better way to raise me. I like baseball, movies, good clothes, fast cars, whiskey, and you... what else you need to know?"
"Billie Frechette: They're looking at me because they're not used to having a girl in their restaurant in a $3 dress. John Dillinger: Listen, doll. That's 'cause they're all about where people come from. The only thing that's important is where someone's going. Billie Frechette: [smiles] Where are you going? John Dillinger: Anywhere I want."
