Did You Know?
| Trivia | The unusual car chase scenes after the kidnapping were Benicio Del Toro's idea. He suggested this to writer and director Christopher McQuarrie after watching Cops (1989), where a couple of criminals did the same when cops were chasing them. See more » |
| Goofs | When Longabaugh shoots the first Federale with the sniper rifle, the sonic crack of the bullet is heard, and the impact is seen, before the report of the rifle is audible, indicating a range of over 700 yards, far beyond the range of Jeffers' pistol. Yet Jeffers is able to put down effectively accurate suppressive fire at that range. See more » |
