Trivia:
|
- The prison jumpsuit John Doe wears at the end of the film has the words "Bardach County Jail" written on it. Elinor Bardach was the costume supervisor for this movie.
- The producers wanted Kevin Spacey to receive top billing at the start of the movie but he insisted that his name not appear in the opening credits, so as to surprise the audience with the identity of the killer. To compensate, he is listed first in the closing credits.
- When Mills realizes whose head is in the box, there is a single-frame shot of that person.
- Somerset's office number, 714, is also Joe Friday's badge number as shown in the background of the closing credits in the old TV series, "Dragnet".
- While filming the scene where Mills chases John Doe in the rain, Brad Pitt fell and his arm went through a car windshield, requiring surgery. This accident was worked into the script of the film.

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.
