TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

(at around 8 mins) The photograph on the bulletin board at the guard desk that Martin notices when he shows up for his first shift and asks the old watchman about, is a famous photo of Lewis Thornton Powell (also known as Lewis Paine or Lewis Payne), a conspirator with John Wilkes Booth, the assassin of Abraham Lincoln.

The movie is a remake of the danish movie "Nattevagten". The director of the danish original Ole Bornedal also directed the remake.

(at around 8 mins) The black and white picture of the guy on death row in the cabin is the same one used in the original version of this movie (Nightwatch (1994)).

The opening scene where a prostitute gets violently murdered was not part of Ole Bornedal's original cut, presumably being added by Miramax during the post-production phase. The scene only includes Anais Evans, who does not appear in the rest of the film, and as such it may have been filmed long after principal photography had wrapped.

The end scene where Martin and co. leave the morgue was a reshoot that occurred several months after principal photography had wrapped. If you look carefully, you can see that Josh Brolin's hair is slightly longer than it had been in the prior scene, and that it matches the hairstyle he had in Mimic (1997), which was being filmed by Miramax around the same time as the reshoot.

Popular Dialogues

"Inspector Thomas Cray: Most people, when they see something like this, their immediate reaction is to ask how could somebody do this and why. Even when we catch the killer, they want to know the how and why. In movies or television, the killer always explains the how or why. He always has some reason, however crazy, with a mad gleam in his eye. But I've interrogated murderers like this one before, and let me tell you, they are well beyond the need to justify what they do. They just do it. Explanations are just a fiction to make us feel safe. Because if it can't be explained, then it's just meaningless chaos. It could touch any one of us at any moment. Which is exactly what it is."

"Inspector Thomas Cray: Have you ever been killed before? I'll be back in a minute."
