Did You Know?

Edit
Trivia 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." See more »
Goofs When Julian is telling the story about his first mistake in Manila, the camera can be seen, hidden behind palm leaves and bamboo, when two guys holding a mirror are walking through the frame. See more »

Crazy Credits "The filmmakers do not condone bullfighting, but respect its long tradition in the Mexican culture. It was extremely important to the producers that no bulls were harmed because of the production of 'The Matador'. In no way did the producers of this film create, arrange or organize any of the bullfights seen within this movie. Sequences staged by the producers employed fake and computer-generated bulls exclusively. Absolutely no animals were harmed by the production of this movie." See more »
Quotes Julian Noble: Sorry about the cock thing, it's kind of a conversation stopper.
