Trivia

In October, 2007, Charlize Theron said in an interview in Esquire magazine that "Reindeer Games" was her least favorite of all her films. She said: "That was a bad, bad, bad movie. But I got to work with John Frankenheimer. I wasn't lying to myself - that's why I did it."

Goofs

While escaping across the ice alone, Rudy gets shot at, and despite being in the middle of a frozen lake, with nothing for a distance on either side, a bullet ricocheting off metal can be heard right next to him.

When Rudy is pointing the water pistol at one of the gang members, at one angle, his arm is fully extended. At a different angle, his elbow is bent so we can see the gun as his face in the same shot. When they cut back and forth, Rudy's arm jumps from extended to bent and back.

What are the differences between the Theatrical Version and the Director's Cut?

The Director's Cut of Frankenheimer's action flick, that is available on DVD, runs nearly 20 minutes longer than the old theatrical version. Most of these new scenes are little story/scene extensions, that can be found throughout the whole movie but there are also some prolonged action and sex scenes. A detailed comparison between both versions with pictures can be found here.
