The casting choice of James Gandolfini as Leroy was Julia Roberts' idea.
Because of the unusual nature of the script, Gore Verbinski was able to attract Julia Roberts and Brad Pitt to the project for the bargain basement amount of $15 million.
It was on the set of this movie that Julia Roberts met her husband, cameraman Daniel Moder.
Throughout the film, Jerry (Brad Pitt) (and others) is seen to carry his handgun inside the front of the waistband but without a holster. Appropriate to the movie, this is known as "Mexican carry".
James Gandolfini reportedly lost 35 pounds for his role, all of which he had to gain back before shooting re-commenced on the upcoming season of The Sopranos (1999) because producer David Chase believed that "The Sopranos" audience would not like a "skinny" Tony (Soprano).
"Leroy: I have to ask you a question... and it's an important one so, I want you to think about the answer before you give it to me. Okay? Samantha: Okay Leroy: When two people love each other - Really... Love each other - but they just can't get it together, when do you get to that point where enough is enough? Samantha: [mouth agape, stunned look, realizing he's talking about her] Tha?... oh, well... that's... you know... um... you know it's Over when... okay, I have, like, these psychosomatic, insomniatic manifestations of... uh, well here's the thing about me: I'm a product of my emotions, versus being a product of my environment, like HIM, which he is, exactly, just THAT, environmental... uh uh I need sunshine to grow; that's who I am, and uh with the projection of the... I have goals [pause, smiles, nods to indicate she's done] Leroy: That's your answer? Samantha: Yah Leroy: That's not right. I mean, there's a right answer here, but that's not it Samantha: [exhales sharply] Leroy: Look, in my business you're surrounded by loneliness, and finality. Now I don't care what your take is on an afterlife, when people die, it's scary. And they go alone. Now the people that I send off, that have experienced love, they're a little less scared. I mean they're still scared, but there's... a calmness to 'em, and I think that comes from the knowledge that somebody, somewhere loved 'em, and cared for 'em, and will miss 'em. Now I see that from time to time, and I am awed by it. I don't think I'd be telling you any of this if it wasn't for Frank. Anyway, it's a loaded question. Look, when two people love each other - Totally, TRUTHfully, all the way Love each other - the answer to that question is simple, especially in your case. When do you get to that point where enough is enough? Never... Never"
"Leroy: I know we're all a little grouchy right now. We'll get something to eat, you'll get the pistol and then we'll go our separate ways. Samantha: Really separate ways. Jerry: Don't start, Sam. Samantha: Shut up. I'll start because I have the right... Jerry: Why do you do that? Do not tell me to shut up. We had an agreement, remember? Samantha: Shut up. Leroy: Why don't we all shut up a bit? Jerry: I swear to God, I will crash this fucking car right now. Leroy: Jerry, don't do that. Jerry: I will. One more word out of you. Another word, Sam. One more word. I swear to fucking God. Samantha: Naugahyde. Jerry: All right."
