- TriviaHanging on the wall in Driscoll's office is a certificate bearing the symbol of the U.S. Army's First Infantry Division - the unit that Samuel Fuller served in during World War II and depicted in The Big Red One (1980). The same type style for the infantry's numeral "1" is also featured in a reading campaign poster in front of National Accounts, the gangster headquarters building. The certificate is for the 16th Infantry Regiment in which Fuller was a corporal.
- GoofsThe opening sequence takes place in December 1939, and Tolly is 14 years old. The bulk of the story begins in June 1960 and takes place immediately thereafter. Sandy comments to Tolly that he's 32 years old now.
- Quotes
Sandy: Why don't you take a good look at yourself. What do you see? A doctor? A scientist? A businessman? You see a scar-faced ex-con. A two-bit safecracker. A petty thief who don't know when he really made the big time. Where do you come off to blast her? No matter what she's been, what she's done. She's a giant! And you wanna know why? Well, I'll tell ya. Because she sees something in you worth saving. If only one tenth of one percent of all the good in her could rub off on you, you'd be a giant, too. But you're a midget! In your head, in your heart, in your whole makeup. You're a midget!
