Trivia
The first shot of Frankie and Scrap in the gym office was filmed with a split diopter lens. This is a close-up accessory lens cut half so it changes the focal point of only half of the scene, allowing both the foreground on one side and background on the other side to appear sharp.

Sandra Bullock was the first actress attached to play Maggie, and she wanted to pursue Shekhar Kapur as a director. By the time a studio expressed an interest in the project, her commitment to Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous (2005) prevented her from doing the film.

Goofs
Eddie Dupris claims that a knockout is caused when the neck turns a certain degree after which the human body takes over and shuts itself down for safety reasons. While generally unknown, it is widely believed that a knockout is actually caused by the rattling of the brain against the skull causing severe trauma resulting in a concussion.

The back of Maggie's robe has the phrase "Mo Cuishle". However the correct spelling in Irish Gaeilge is "Mo Chuisle".

When Frankie comes into the room to euthanize Maggie, he sits on the bed beside her. Behind him you can see both her legs under the covers, even though her left leg was amputated.
