Did You Know?

Edit
Trivia The Pittsburgh Police badges are plastic resin casts of actual Pittsburgh PD badges. The props crew was given four badges to use, and thus all of the badges are one of only four numbers. This was done with the agreement that all casts and molds had to be returned to Pittsburgh PD so they could be destroyed once filming was completed. See more »
Goofs During the final fight scene in the water between Hardy and the killer, there are two shots of a bald Bruce Willis, missing the hair (or wig) that he sports throughout the rest of the movie. See more »

Quotes Det. Nick Detillo: There's an old Italian saying: Never scald your tongue on another man's soup.
Tom Hardy: Yeah? There's an old Irish saying: don't listen to old Italian sayings.
