Trivia:
|
- Charles S. Dutton has a cameo as the cop who keeps the press out of the Greed crime scene.
- 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.
- One of the SWAT team members at the "sloth" crime scene is named California. 8MM, also written by Andrew Kevin Walker, also has a character named California.
- While filming the scene where Mills chases John Doe in the rain, Brad Pitt fell and his arm went through a car windshield, requiring surgery. This accident was worked into the script of the film.
- Shortly before shooting John Doe, a flash of Mills' wife's face appears on the screen, a technique that David Fincher uses again in Fight Club.

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.
