    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      During the movie, Early Grayce sports a chipped tooth. Brad Pitt visited a dentist to have the tooth chipped for the role.
    • Goofs
      Towards the end of the movie, Early violently smacks his gun across Brian's temple, above his left eye. His temple is shown in a subsequent shot as very bloody, yet there is no visible injury (or bandage) in that spot a short time later as Brian is shown driving down the road chasing after Early & Carrie.
    • Quotes
      • Brian Kessler: When you dream there are no rules. People can fly. Anything can happen. Sometimes there's a moment as you're waking and you become aware of the real world around you, but you are still dreaming. You may think you can fly but you better not try.
    • Alternate versions
      European release and US video/Laserdisc Unrated versions feature about one minute of additional violent footage not present in US theatrical R-rated version. Unrated version of sex scene between Brian and Carrie is slightly longer and more explicit than the R rated version.
