    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The storyline is loosely based on real life bank robbers Terry Lee Conner and Joseph Dougherty. Many elements of their heists are accurately depicted in this film, including breaking into the house of a bank manager, and giving a soda to one of their victims.
    • Goofs
      Joe and Kate appear to switch sides in bed - but one of the shots is as seen in the mirror and there is no continuity error.
    • Quotes
      • [Terry is at the drive-up window as the police pull up]
      • Policeman: Where's Dottie?
      • Terry: Who?
      • Policeman: The drive-up girl.
      • Terry: Oh, yes, Dottie. Of course. She's... sick.
      • Policeman: Sick with what?
      • Terry: Vaginitis. She's been suffering from an abnormal vaginal discharge. You know the common symptoms, a viscous fluid, usually associated with... uh... vaginitis.
      • [the police drive away looking embarrassed]
    • Crazy credits
      During the end credits on the left side of the screen, you see 2 events happening: 1) Harvey and Claire (the Pink Boots girl) getting married in Mexico & 2) Some more outtake footage from the bandits' interview with Darren Head.
    • Alternate versions
      In an alternate ending, Kate Wheeler (Cate Blanchett) is holding Joe's (Bruce Willis) and Terry's (Billy Bob Thornton) hands while watching the wedding, and she is pregnant. Letting the viewer speculate which man is the father.
