    • Trivia
      In the beginning of the scene introducing Matron Mama Morton (Queen Latifah) to the new inmates, Roxie Hart (Renée Zellweger) has a brief conversation with a woman smoking a cigarette. That character is played by long-time Broadway actress Chita Rivera, who portrayed Velma Kelly in the original 1975 production of "Chicago."
    • Goofs

    • Quotes
      • June: I'm standin' in the kitchen, carving up a chicken for dinner, minding my own business, when in storms my husband, Wilbur, in a jealous rage. "You've been screwing the milkman," he said. He was crazy, and he kept on screaming, "You've been screwing the milkman." And then he ran into my knife... he ran into my knife ten times.
    • Crazy credits
      Near the end of the credits, just so there are no doubts: Catherine Zeta-Jones' singing and dancing performed by Catherine Zeta-Jones Renée Zellweger's singing and dancing performed by Renée Zellweger Richard Gere's singing and dancing performed by Richard Gere
    • Alternate versions
      The musical number "Class," featuring Queen Latifah and Catherine Zeta-Jones, was deleted from the final version of the film.
