c.		There were two versions of Ricos final words filmed, "Mother of God, is this the end of Rico?" and "Mother of mercy, is this the end of Rico?"

Both sides of my face are lousy and my backside isnt much better." Relations between the two stars did not improve after that.

c.		The casting of Richard Conte was an idea by the mother of Martin Scorsese, who asked Francis Ford Coppola if he could be in the movie.

c.		On his DVD commentary, director Chris Terrio reveals that he shot two endings for the Alec and Jonathan storyline - one in which Alec does not open the door for Jonathan, and the one that was in the film, in which Alec does open the door for Jonathan. Terrio said that he decided to use the latter version after producer Ismail Merchant asked him to because "there are already too many movies where gay men get punished at the end." Terrio says that he doesnt know what happens to Alec and Jonathan "five minutes or five months later," but he does think that this version of the ending provides a "glimmer of hope" for them.
d.		Ziyi Zhang could not speak English, so she had to take direction via the combination of an interpreter (often Jackie Chan himself) and Brett Ratner essentially performing "charades". Her character only says three English words in the movie: "Some apple?" and, later, "Out!" In an interview, Roselyn Sanchez said that Ziyi Zhang tried learning English from her, but tried to discourage her as she would have ended up speaking it with a Puerto Rican accent.
