Trivia:
|
- 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".
- Charles S. Dutton has a cameo as the cop who keeps the press out of the Greed crime scene.
- 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.)
- In one scene, Mills belittles Doe as a "Movie of the Week." When this film was shown on network television, the line was changed to "Book of the Month."
- Morgan Freeman's son, Alfonso Freeman, played the part of a fingerprint technician.

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.
