  • The film is almost a celebration of New York attitude, from the opening moments right up to the final scene. Garber has investigated Longman / Mr Green in his apartment. Longman has successfully bluffed Garber and Garber is leaving. But Longman just has to give him some of that 'tude, which keeps the cop there just long enough to hear a very familiar sneeze...
  • Given Mr. Blue is an ex-solder turned mercenary, the code names make a lot of sense in terms of rank when taken in alphabetical order.
    • Mr. Blue is the leader.
    • Mr. Brown is his second-in-command.
    • Mr. Green is the driver and technical adviser.
    • Mr. Grey is little more than a second guard and the lowest ranking.
  • The introduction shot of Mr. Blue shows him shuffling his feet side to side. The same movement he uses touch the third rail and suicide after being caught
