Trivia:
|
- 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.
- 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".
- 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.
- Morgan Freeman's son, Alfonso Freeman, played the part of a fingerprint technician.
- New Line executives originally balked at the film's ending, but Brad Pitt refused to make the film if the ending were changed.

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.
