Jake Hoyt: Uh, couple weeks ago?
Alonzo Harris: Good, you need practice.
Jake Hoyt: They look like college kids.
Alonzo Harris: They're gonna get their education today. I don't want the Brady Bunch grabbin' glass. You take the back, I'll take the front.
- Just after Smiley tells Sniper to deal the cards again, the sound of Alonzo's car can be heard leaving.
- During the movie, Hoyt often does the opposite of what Alonzo tells him to do. He tells Hoyt not to get involved with anything but organized crime and avoid wasting time with small crimes but he helps the girl who is getting raped (which eventually saves his life), he tells him never to mention his family while working but he says he's married and has a daughter when he's about to be shot in the tub, he tells Hoyt never to enter the rough neighborhood "Jungles" without him but he does (which eventually helps him catch Alonzo).
- Famous crime novelist and LAPD specialist James Ellroy described the movie as "a complete waste of time".
- About the casting of 'Ethan Hawke', Antoine Fuqua said "there's something innocent about Ethan, he's such a nice guy...but there's something in his eyes, that tells you he's seen something."
- Alonzo's weapons of choice in the film are the venerable Smith & Wesson 4506, of which he carries two in a dual shoulder holster. The 4506 is a .45 ACP semi automatic (previously) used by many police departments around the country.
