Trivia:
  • Robert Forster is featured in another Alfred Hitchcock film remade the same year: Rear Window.
     
  • The kitchen knife is credited as belonging to John Woo.
     
  • A sign for the Bates Motel reads "Newly Renovated."
     
  • As Anne Heche approaches the car dealership where she exchanges cars, she passes a bus stop displaying a poster for Six Days Seven Nights in which she stars with Harrison Ford.
     
  • Viggo Mortensen starred in another Hitchcock remake the same year, A Perfect Murder. In both movies he is the female protagonist's lover, begins the first scene of each film in bed with her, and is involved in a crime involving an identical amount of $400,000.
     
Credits Fun:

  • If you look closely at the swamp after the end credits, the water turns red, obviously to blood.
     
  • Thanks to John Woo for use of his kitchen knife.
     
  • The logo for Imagine drips in blood instead of water.
