TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Curtis Hanson was a longtime fan of Bob Dylan, and personally approached the singer about writing a song for his movie adaptation. Dylan complied with "Things Have Changed", which went on to win him an Academy Award.

The list of famous suicides is taken name-for-name from a list in Kenneth Anger's "Hollywood Babylon II," including the notorious Alan Ladd reference.

In the theatrical version James Leer (Tobey Maguire) included Alan Ladd's death in his list of celebrity suicides. After complaints from Ladd's family, Paramount removed the offending line in all future releases of the film, including home video. Because of this, VHS and DVD releases carry a disclaimer, shown before the feature, warning that the film has been edited for content.

Filmed in sequence.

The combination to the locked closet with the Monroe jacket is 5641. Fifty-six games is the record number of consecutive games that Joe Dimaggio recorded a hit, and forty-one is the year in which he accomplished it.

Popular Dialogues

"James Leer: Now, that is a big trunk. It holds a tuba, a suitcase, a dead dog, and a garment bag almost perfectly. Grady Tripp: That's just what they used to say in the ads."

"Terry Crabtree: Let me get this straight. Jerry Nathan owes you money, so as collateral he gives you his car. Grady Tripp: Only I'm beginning to think that the car wasn't exactly Jerry's to give. Terry Crabtree: Ah, so whose car was it? Grady Tripp: My guess? Vernon Hardapple. Terry Crabtree: The hood jumper? Grady Tripp: He said a few things that lead me to believe that the car was his. Terry Crabtree: Such as? Grady Tripp: "That's my car, motherfucker.""
