Trivia

The movie gets its title from 50 Cent's debut album of the same name.

Share this

Bono introduced Jim Sheridan to 50 Cent because Sheridan expressed a desire to meet and work with 50.

Share this

Goofs

Toward the end of the movie when the kid walks into the street then turns to shoot the cop through the LF window of the car he does so killing the cop. In the very next scene with him running from the scene, the car is in the background with the LF window rolled up.

Share this

When Marcus gets his Mercedes Benz S500, he starts playing his Window Shopper song. He wasn't a rapper back then. This is not an actual goof, as the tape Marcus was listening to was his demo tape, and he was in the car to drive to a meeting with a producer that was going to listen to his demo.

Share this

When Marcus leaves the hospital to "take care of something" his facial hair is thick. Later that night when he returns home, his facial hair is gone.
