Did You Know?
| Trivia | So many scenes didn't make it into the movie that Jonathan Demme decided to place them at the end during the credits, to retell the story. See more » |
| Goofs | At about 52 Minutes into the movie a sniper shoots 2 men in a moving vehicle. First he shoots the man in the passenger seat and you see a close up of the bullet hole in the windshield. Then before he even shoots the second man driving the car you see another shot of the car and windshield and there's two bullet holes in the windshield when there should only be one because he hadn't shot the second man yet.

| Crazy Credits | There are numerous outtakes in the end credits, including one showing the carved headboard of the bed in which de Marco is sporting with his mistress, bearing the words "Veni, Veni, Veni" (I Came, I Came, I Came), parodying Caesar's famous quote. See more » |
| Quotes |
Angela de Marco:
God, you people work just like the mob! There's no difference. Regional Director Franklin: Oh, there's a big difference, Mrs. de Marco. The mob is run by murdering, thieving, lying, cheating psychopaths. We work for the President of the United States of America. See more » |
