TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

The sombrero worn by Pierce Brosnan in the film was sold at auction for $22,000.

The film was shot in just forty days in and around Mexico City, Mexico.

Hope Davis (Carolyn) was pregnant during filming.

The movie's screenplay almost never made it to Pierce Brosnan. Richard Shepard said: "I wrote it to make it on digital video for two hundred fifty grand. I wrote the most outrageous character I could (in Julian Noble), because I figured it would never get made in Hollywood."

The movie was acquired by the Weinstein Company during the Sundance Film Festival in January 2005.

Popular Dialogues

"Julian Noble: The margaritas always taste better in Mexico. Danny Wright: They certainly do. Julian Noble: Margaritas and cock."

"Julian Noble: Sorry about the cock thing, it's kind of a conversation stopper."
