    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      During production, Brian Helgeland was brought in to rewrite the script. The Wachowskis, unsatisfied with the rewrites, petitioned to have their names removed from the credits, but were denied this request by the WGA.
    • Goofs
      After the cemetery gun battle, the police arrest Miguel but follow no other procedures. Since a murder was committed, which makes the cemetery a crime scene, they should at least detain witnesses, including Rath, for questioning. They don't even attempt to secure the scene, which means by the time they find the shell casings from Rath's .22 and realize there may have been another shooter, it's much too late.
    • Quotes
      • Electra: Once upon a time, there was this little sparrow, who while flying south for the winter froze solid and fell to the ground. And then to make matters worse the cow crapped on him, but the manure was all warm and it defrosted him. So there he is, he's warm and he's happy to be alive and he starts to sing. A hungry cat comes along and he clears off the manure and he looks at the little bird and then he eats him. And the moral of the story is this: everyone who craps on you is not necessarily your enemy, and everyone who gets you out of crap is not necessarily your friend, and if you're warm and happy no matter where you are you should just keep your big mouth shut.
