Did You Know?
| Trivia | Spike Lee was facing a lot of negative feedback from the family members of the victims who didn't want a film being made which might glorify the killer in some manner. As a result, the script had to be changed which focused more on the community than the killer himself. "Son of Sam" was rumored to be the original working title. See more » |
| Goofs | At the beginning of the movie, set in the summer of 1977, characters are seen dancing in a disco to the song "There But For the Grace of God Go I" by Machine. The song wasn't recorded until 1979. See more » |

Dionna: Oh, fuck you! Vinny: Please, please, don't make me have to beg you. Get in the car. Come on- don't make me have to hurt you. Dionna: Hurt me? Don't you even fuckin' lay a pinkie on me!
