    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Morgan Freeman's character Sam was at first not blind at all. After hearing from a piano school for the blind (with a very high reputation, and where the scholars developed their hearing), Freeman had the idea of making his character blind because like this it is easier for Sam to "see" the child in Jet Li's character, and not the brutal killer.
    • Goofs
      Set in Glasgow, Scotland. However not a single character in the film has a Scottish accent.
    • Quotes
      • Bart: I tell you, I feel really good here. And I feel generous. Danny, what do you want?
      • Danny: A piano.
      • Bart: Excuse me?
      • Danny: I want a piano.
      • Bart: A piano? Oh yeah. How about a lobster dinner?
      • Danny: I want a piano.
      • Bart: How about a woman? You've never had a woman.
      • Danny: I want a piano.
      • Bart: Danny, you're starting to piss me off.
      • Danny: I want a piano.
      • Bart: [laughs] That's what I love about you, Danny. One thought at a time.
    • Alternate versions
      The Europa Ultimate Edition of the film contains deleted scenes like:
      • 1) Danny admits to Sam that he 'hurts people'.
      • 2) An incomplete fight-sequence at a indoor car park.
      • 3) A 3D track shot inside the piano
      • ..and also U.S version scenes include:
      • 1) A longer montage of Bart taking Danny throughout Glasgow to collect money.
      • 2) Alternate ending: instead of ending with a close-up of Danny, it simply ends with the piano crawl.
