* FocusGroupEnding: According to Creator/MorganFreeman, his character was supposed to die in the end in the original cut, but the producers changed it after a negative test audience screening. Morgan Freeman commented on his character surviving in re-shoots:
-->I played a bad guy in a movie and they showed it to an audience - and we're letting an audience tell us what to do now - y'know, and the audience said, "Well, I don't want him - Morgan can't die!" And I was a thief. "He should get some money". We went back into the studio and re-shot it so that I didn't die and I did get some money.
