Trivia:
|
- 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 screenplay had references to a partner Mills had when he still lived in the country, named Parsons. Parsons was shot and killed while on a bust with Mills, and consequently Mills is overprotective of Somerset in some scenes. All references to Parsons were deleted before shooting began.
- Andrew Kevin Walker, the writer of the film, appears as the first corpse.
- 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.
- The name of the city in which the movie takes place is never mentioned.

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.
