Trivia

In Hans's dream sequence the Vietnamese psychopath's suicide is witnessed by the hooker in the red dress and a soldier named Petraeus, as in General David Petraeus.

The original script revolved heavily on the shih-tzu getting shot in the final stand-off of the film. The film boards insisted that they shouldn't show animal cruelty and the script was changed around it. Billy also refers to this in the grave yard scene when he says "His rabbit gets away, because you can't let the animals die in a movie. Just the women"

Towards the end of the film, Christopher Walken's character, Hans, revealed to be the vengeful Quaker whose story Billy tells to Marty, wanders through the desert in a very similar manner to Harry Dean Stanton's character at the beginning of Wim Wenders' Paris, Texas (1984). When Billy first tells Marty the story, the role of the Quaker is played by Harry Dean Stanton.

Goofs

In the desert, Marty brings Billy the two guns after Hans leaves. Billy takes both guns in his right hand when he starts to stand. When the camera angle changes, though, he twirls just one gun in his right hand.

When Marty calls Kaya to explain his drunken behavior, the phone clearly still shows the home screen without any numbers or contacts being dialed while he's calling her.

Hans' story he left on his recording device about the Vietnamese priest is factually impossible. The priest/monk could not have lost his family in the My Lai Massacre (which occurred in 1968) and then become the first Buddhist monk to self-immolate in Vietnam, which occurred in 1963.

Billy: [Marty is reading Billy's journal] Monday the 14th. Sat watching the shadow of the neighbor's flagpole across my lawn again from 7:00 in the morning to 7:00 in the evening. That's 11 hours. They've got a right to y a flag, don't they? Note to self, do not set fire to the neighbor's flag.

Zachariah: I'm going to be over to kill you Tuesday.
