* ActorInspiredElement: When researching what accent he would use for Dixon, Creator/SamRockwell became acquainted with a chief of police from Springfield, Misouri (who had been featured on ''Cops''). The man liked to use the word 'clank' referring to jail, and Sam requested Dixon say it as well.

* BillingDisplacement: The posters have Creator/WoodyHarrelson over Creator/SamRockwell despite the latter being the Deuteragonist. This is almost certainly because of two reasons. The first is that Harrelson’s a bigger name than Rockwell, and the second is [[spoiler: they didn’t want to spoil that Harrelson’s character suffers an early death while Rockwell’s seemingly less important role only goes on to gain prominence after that]].
