[after waking from his coma and watching a video of his surgery] Castor Troy: Hello, Doctor. I hope you don't mind: I took a few of your groovy painkillers. I'm just enjoying some of your greatest hits here. Oh God, this is excellent. Oh, bravo. Bra-fucking-vo.
-
Dietrich: Hey Sean, how's your dead son?

Movie Trivia:
- The studio wanted John Woo to take the slash out of the title, but he kept it in so people wouldn't think it was a hockey movie.
-
The script as presented to director John Woo was set in the future, but Woo suggested changing the setting to the present to focus on the dramatic and psychological elements of the storyline.
-
The boat chase at the end of the film was originally intended for Hard Target (1993), also directed by John Woo.
-
In The Rock (1996), Nicolas Cage's character says he drives a beige Volvo. After escaping from the prison, Archer (Cage) steals a beige Volvo.
-
Also, In Con Air (1997), the 2nd of the "trilogy," Cameron Poe (Cage) drops the dead body of "Pinball" from the plane, and it falls onto a beige Volvo.
