Trivia:

  • New Line executives originally balked at the film's ending, but Brad Pitt refused to make the film if the ending were changed.
     
  • The interior shot of Mills kicking in John Doe's door was directly inspired by trailers for Men in Black, where agents J and K do much the same thing.
     
  • Andrew Kevin Walker, the writer of the film, appears as the first corpse.
     
  • 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.
     
  • 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".
     

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.
