Trivia:
|
- A rejected version of the credits had the same scratchy handwriting and Coil-remixed "Closer to God", but used static images instead of the jumpy, blurred footage used currently. (This credit sequence is in the Criterion laserdisc supplement section.)
- Andrew Kevin Walker, the writer of the film, appears as the first corpse.
- The interior shot of Mills kicking in John Doe's door was directly inspired by trailers for Men in Black, where agents J and K do much the same thing.
- The "Platinum Series" DVD of Se7en by New Line is mastered from a new HDTV transfer which was made directly from the camera negative. This required that the whole film be re-graded digitally, applying color and contrast correction to every shot under the director's supervision. The resulting HDTV master is now the official master of the film. The digital corrections are quite extensive in some shots as the DVD supplements demonstrate in detail.
- Mills and William Somerset discuss the book "Of Human Bondage", which was written by W. Somerset Maugham.

Credits Fun:
|
- Credits roll down instead of up.
- The opening credits are done over broken, blurred images of John Doe removing the skin from his fingertips and sewing it into his journals.
