Trivia

As a fan of the comic strip, Warren Beatty wanted to put in as many characters from the comics into the film as he could. This was a measure used by Beatty in case the film didn't have a sequel.

Though Al Pacino had his own slicked-down hairstyle, the make-up artists had to add a fake chin, nose, upper lip, a mole on his cheek, and plugs behind his ears to make them stick out in order to turn Pacino into Big Boy Caprice.

Danny Elfman was hired to compose the film score because Warren Beatty was impressed with his work on Batman (1989). Of working with Beatty, Elfman has said "Warren was insane".

Goofs

The credits, in order of appearance, show Pruneface then Mumbles; Mumbles first appeared long before Pruneface did.

When Big Boy and Flattop enters the vault, the latter says "It's Tracy's dame". His lips do not move when this line is spoken.

When Dick Tracy fills the cup of water, it is filled to the brim, but when he waves the cup in front of Mumbles it isn't quite full.

Quotes

Dick Tracy: Is the enemy of my enemy my friend, or the enemy of my friend my enemy?

Share this

Mumbles: Uh, wait. W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-Wait.

Share this

Big Boy Caprice: You know, Dick - You mind if I call you "Dick"? My associates here would very much like to see you have a little accident. But I tell 'em, "No. I'll take care of Tracy myself," I tell 'em. You know why? I want you on my side!

Faq

Do any of the villains live?

Numbers and Mumbles are the only prominent characters to survive. A few others that Tracy had arrested in the montage are assumed to have survived such as Ribs Mocha and Tex Garcia. 88 Keys also lives, but is arrested (if you consider him a villain, and not a victim of circumstance.)
