Trivia:

  • Morgan Freeman's son, Alfonso Freeman, played the part of a fingerprint technician.
     
  • When Mills realizes whose head is in the box, there is a single-frame shot of that person.
     
  • The autopsy of the first killing, as originally scripted was incorrect, according to the research of makeup man Rob Bottin (who viewed a real human autopsy as part of his prep work). The scene was truncated from the original script and shows only the sewn-up corpse of Gluttony, not the actual autopsy.
     
  • R. Lee Ermey originally auditioned for the part of John Doe. After the part was given to Kevin Spacey, Ermey was offered and took the part of the police captain.
     
  • 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.
     

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.
