- Jessica Alba did not know how racy the images of her character Nancy were in the comic until after she signed on for the film. The script originally had several nude scenes for the character, but Alba refused to do any nudity. Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller didn't think it was important for there to be nudity, so they didn't care.
- When Jackie Boy and his "troops" enter Shellie's apartment, one of them is wearing a t-shirt with a peace sign embedded with a star and flag (the symbol also appears as one of Becky's (Alexis Bledel) earrings). This is the symbol of PAX, the paramilitary peace force from Frank Miller's Martha Washington series of graphic novels, beginning with "Give Me Liberty."
- Although the action happens in the fictional Basin City, a replica of New York's Chrysler Building can be seen in the background when Marv is running by the rooftops.
- The shape of Elijah Wood's chin was changed subtly in post-production to give him a more unsettling appearance.
- According to Robert Rodriguez's commentary, the scourging sequence between Yellow Bastard and Nancy Callahan was originally shot faithful to the comic book: considerably longer and more graphic than what appears in the final cut or the extended edition. Rodriguez stated that the torture segment was crossing the bounds of bad taste, even for Sin City.
