Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe shots in which Sean Penn and Nicolas Cage standing on the railroad tracks with the train coming toward them were done with a large mirror positioned on the track, the camera shooting into it rather than the oncoming locomotive, to give the illusion that the train is coming toward them when the train is actually on a set of tracks nearby.
- GoofsWhile sitting at a table talking with Henry, we see Nicky (Nicolas Cage) light a cigarette by striking a match on the back of a matchbook, however in 1942 matchbooks were front-strike until a new regulation in 1973 deemed front-strike too dangerous.
