Trivia:

  • One version of the script contained a few scenes following the final confrontation between the detectives and John Doe. In one of them, Somerset is recovering in the hospital after being shot by Mills, and the captain delivers a letter to him from Mills which reads, "You were right. You were right about everything."
     
  • 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.)
     
  • Mills and William Somerset discuss the book "Of Human Bondage", which was written by W. Somerset Maugham.
     
  • The original script had a strange, dwarf-like woman as part of the forensics team, appearing in every one of the "cleanups" after a murder and hurling foul language and epithets at Somerset and Mills.
     
  • Originally, Somerset drew his pistol with his finger on the trigger. Police officers that were on the set as technical advisors quickly corrected him, as that is not correct police procedure.
     

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.
