Trivia

Barbet Schroeder was originally supposed to play the Swiss assassin. The schedule changed and Raúl Ruiz flipped it to Vito Acconci but kept the "I'm Swiss" dialogue the same.

Popular Dialogues

"Austin: Yes, I kill. I'm aware of the situation and I'm sorry. But in cases like this it's easy for me to act with cold-blooded detachment because I just can't stand people that peep where they shouldn't be peeping. So shut up and let me use your blood!"

"Doc: Forgive him, God! Austin: The day God forgives me, I'll shoot myself. Doc: Please Austin, don't blaspheme. Austin: IF GOD EXISTED, WE'D BE MARRIED, WE'D HAVE CHILDREN, AND BE HAPPY! Doc: Hey, what about me? Austin: You'd be dead. Doc: Okay that's it, kill me, go ahead, kill me. Austin: After the serenade. Doc: After always 'after'. Austin: Why do you have to make such a big deal out of everything? PLEASE JESUS CHRIST! Everythings' has to be such a big deal... . Turn left kid, two more blocks and then a right. Doc: It's always the same route! Austin: What do you mean the same route, is there another one? Doc: There's always another one. Austin: You can't be re-inventing the world every day. Doc: Yes you can! Austin: Yes, but it's very tiring! Doc: We have all our lives to rest. Austin: You know, you throw back everything I say. Doc: That's because everything I say, you said before. Austin: In general, well that's the way it is! Israel Williams: Left? Doc: Yes Austin: And slower. Israel Williams: What do I do here? Austin: What do you mean do now? You're a chauffeur aren't ya, do your job! Doc: Easy does it, he's doing us a favour. Austin: He's doing us a favour, we're doing him a favour! He's learning what life is, and there's no price on that, yes or no! So cool it!"
