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."
- 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.
- Morgan Freeman's son, Alfonso Freeman, played the part of a fingerprint technician.
- All the building numbers in the opening scene start with 7. The climactic delivery was scheduled for 7pm.
- 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."

Credits Fun:
