Movie Trivia/Goofs

→ View All

Movie Goof (audio/visual unsynchronized): When Dave is writing his name in the cement, you can hear him write a lot more than the first two letters that he actually writes. He writes DA but we hear more stick strokes in the cement.
SPOILER: For the scene where Jimmy wails and thrashes in anguish at the discovery of Katie's body, Sean Penn requested that a tank of oxygen be standing by after he finished the take.
Movie Goof (crew or equipment visible): When Markum and family are leaving the first communion and they see police cars fly past the church, the shadow of the camera falls across Markum's back as it moves around him.
Michael Keaton was originally cast as Sean Devine. He had done several script readings with the rest of the principal cast, and he had been doing research for the role with the Massachusetts State Police Department, and living in Boston for several weeks. A month before principal photography was to start, Keaton and director Clint Eastwood got into a huge argument, and Keaton left the project. A week later, Kevin Bacon was cast in the role.
