Buster Coen, Ethan Coen's son, is listed in the end credits as "Mr. Damon's abs double". In reality, he was an on-set assistant to the script supervisor.
Drew Houpt is credited as "The New Duke", an apparent reference to John Wayne ('The Duke') who starred in the original film.
The film is introduced with a quote from the Bible, specifically Proverbs 28:1--"The wicked flee when none pursueth."
