History Trivia / ThreeThousandMilesToGraceland

** Italy: ''La rapina''.

* {{Blooper}}: The end credits conclude with one at the end of the "Such a Night" music video, showing an outtake where Murphy (Costner) makes a ''Film/BackToTheFuture'' reference during the climactic standoff with Michael, causing the cast and crew to break into laughter.

* DuelingMovies: ''WITH ITSELF!'' Apparently, Creator/KevinCostner and Creator/KurtRussell disagreed about the film's tone so much that the studio let each actor cut their own version for test audiences. Russell's film was more of a black comedy that focused more on the relationship with the Creator/CourteneyCox character while Costner's film was dark and violent. It is reported that most of the finished film is from the Costner cut.

** The film's shooting process was marred by [[https://bombreport.com/yearly-breakdowns/2001-2/3000-miles-to-graceland/ behind-the-scenes struggles faced]] by its financier, Franchise Pictures, which was sued by co-financier Intertainment in late 2000 for allegedly inflating the budgets of their films, to such an extent that ''Graceland'' had fraudulent charges totalling nearly 25 per cent of the entire budget, which flowed directly back to the production company. Intertainment would eventually go on to win its case against Franchise (and its founder, Elie Samaha) in 2004, winning a $77 million judgment and shutting them down for good.
** The apparent rivalry between Costner and Russell, seemingly led by confusion over the film's tone, led Franchise to allow both stars to create competing cuts of the film in a bid to figure out which one was better. Costner edited the film into an edgy crime drama, and Russell's cut favored BlackComedy, as it was centered around the relationship with Cox's character, Sybil. Test audiences gave Costner's version the edge, and it's this version that the final cut was created from.
