1.
The title refers to a strategy instigated by Himmler in December 1941 that helped propagate the fear of the Third Reich. Anyone caught resisting the Nazi occupiers would be arrested and then immediately whisked off to the camps in such a way that they would vanish without a trace, "into the night and fog".

The then Federal German government intervened successfully to prevent the film being shown at the Cannes Film Festival on the grounds that the festival's regulations prevented any film being shown that would cause offense to any participating nation. Ironically, the director of the Berlin Film Festival lobbied hard for the film to be shown at his festival.

1.
During rehearsals, the two actors had trouble finding the chemistry they needed for their scenes together. To better understand what each needed from the other's role, William Hurt suggested they try an experiment where they would switch roles, with Hurt as Valentin and Raul Julia as Molina.
2.
The role-switching rehearsal went so well that Hurt initially suggested to director Hector Babenco that they should switch parts for the film as well. Obviously, the switch did not occur, but Hurt states that it was a very useful experiment in helping them more fully understand their own characters.

1.
Working title: "Gemini". The studio didn't like it, and so switched to "Twins". This was changed to "Dead Ringers" after Ivan Reitman, who had produced two of Cronenberg's early films, approached Cronenberg about purchasing the rights to use the title "Twins". Twins was then used for the Danny DeVito/Arnold Schwarzenegger film Twins (1988).
2.
During filming, Jeremy Irons kept track of whether he was playing Elliott or Beverley by always playing one with his weight on the balls of his feet and the other with his weight on his heels.
3.
SPOILER: The movie is based on two real life twins, Stewart and Cyril Marcus. The two were found dead in their apartment on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. Their deaths were due to withdrawal from barbiturate addiction. The story is told in the novel "Twins" by Bari Wood and Jack Geasland (published 1977).

1.
Trailers for this film featured footage of William S. Burroughs shot in the 1960s, with an impersonator providing narration about the irony of how a book that was banned and censored has now been made into a movie.
2.
The movie is packed with characters based on real people and events from the life of Burroughs. Like Bill Lee, William S. Burroughs was an exterminator and drug addict who accidentally shot his wife during a drunken game of "William Tell." Joan Lee is based on Joan Vollmer, Burroughs' wife. H
2.5
ank and Martin, Bill's fellow writers, are Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg. Burroughs moved to a section of Tangier, Morocco, known as the "International Zone," hence "Interzone."
2.6
Tom Frost is clearly based on Paul Bowles, and Kiki was in fact the name of a young man Burroughs had an affair with in Tangier, while writing "Naked Lunch."
3.
This was originally going to be the first David Cronenberg film to be made outside of Toronto until a panicked Ontario Film Board offered the director unparalleled financial inducements and incentives. As it transpired, however, the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait scuttled any plans to film in Tangier, Morocco, so the entire film ended up being made in Toronto anyway.
4.
David Cronenberg wrote the screenplay on a Toshiba laptop computer during the period of time while he was acting in Clive Barker's Nightbreed (1990).
5.
According to David Cronenberg's DVD commentary, the main credits sequence is a direct homage to visual designer Saul Bass. The film takes place in the 1950s, when Bass was active as both a graphic designer and the director of main credits sequences for other people's movies.
6.
Peter Weller turned down the lead role in RoboCop 3 (1993) to appear in this film.
7.
When Lee buys the Clark Nova, the typewriter's vacant spot in the shop window is taken by a strange sculpture of a Mugwump clinging to a hanged man. While this sculpture seems to foreshadow Kiki's fate later in the film, it is also a reference to a notorious scene in the book where a Mugwump hangs a young man for sexual gratification.
Given that William S. Burroughs' Naked Lunch isn't so much a novel as a collection of literary fragments that riff on corporate culture, human depravity, and sexual outrage as often as they filter the author's actual life as a bisexual, expatriate drug addict, it's a wonder the book ever became a movie at all. "Unfilmable" was the adjective most often applied, especially when it was announced that maverick Canadian director David Cronenberg would give it a shot. Cronenberg was hardly faithful to either the contents or the precise spirit of the author's nightmarishly misanthropic beat masterpiece, but he did manage to transform elements of the book and the overall Burroughs mythos into a coherent entry in his own oeuvre of stylized alienation. -- AllMovie
"Appropriately filmed in stark black-and-white, La haine takes us to a Paris that cannot be found on a postcard or in a glossy travel brochure. The Eiffel Tower makes only one appearance, as a distant reminder of a society that has no place for the film's alienated protagonists." -- AllMovie

1.
At one point, Julie Mauduech says to Hubert Koundé, "We've met before, haven't we?" which might be a reference to Mathieu Kassovitz's first film, Café au lait (1993), in which they both starred.
2.
In some English-language versions, such as the 2007 Criterion Collection DVD, the name Astérix was changed to Snoopy in the subtitles, as the film traveled further than the Astérix books did.
3.
Director Cameo: [Mattieu Kassovitz] the skinhead who gets beaten up by Vinz, Hubert, and Saïd.
4.
When the three characters are looking for Astérix (Snoopy), one of the doorbell names is Cassel.
5.
Actress Jodie Foster was so impressed with La Haine when she saw it at the 1995 Cannes Film Festival that she helped to arrange American distribution for the film through her production company, Egg Pictures.

"What's down there, a fucking Rancor?"
"But the movie isn't satisfied to simply succeed at aping the conventions of these tried-and-true formulas either, because it takes liberties with each that prove that, even when typing away in a cloud of pot smoke, writers Rogen and Goldberg are smart enough to know when to inject some new ideas into the mix." -- AllMovie

"David Gordon Green's Undertow opens with a bang -- a rollicking, psychedelic action credit sequence, complete with split screens, negative images, zooms, and freeze-frames, that could have come out of a 1970s action B-movie like Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry."
"The film certainly has its odd, awkward scenes, and it doesn't come together quite with the seamless loveliness of George Washington or All the Real Girls, but it's still memorable, and offers more evidence of the filmmaker's prodigious talent." -- AllMovie

1.
There were many injuries acquired on the set. Both Josh Lucas and Dermot Mulroney broke ribs during fight scenes between each other, and Jamie Bell stepped on a nail and had to walk on crutches for days.
2.
The "green paint" tasted by young Tim, Devon Alan, is actually yogurt; the "mud" he eats is brownie mix.
3.
After Jamie Bell hurt his foot during filming, David Gordon Green stood in for some of the shots of Chris running through the woods.

4.
Devon Alan could not attend the wrap party as he was too young, so there was a special party given so he could be included.
5.
Devon Alan's (Tim) monologue about "Chiggars" was not in the script and was totally improvised by the 11 year old.
6.
Green, who co-wrote the script with Joe Conway, has cited the influence of filmmaker Terrence Malick, who is credited as a producer. Green was also influenced by low-budget regional films of the 1970s (like Macon County Line and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre) and by Charles Laughton's classic The Night of the Hunter.
"Bearing more in common with the work of such N.Y.C. iconoclasts as Jon Jost, Jonathan Nossiter, or Nick Gomez (in particular the ponderous, anti-thriller rhythms of Illtown), Claire Dolan struggled to find a release after its 1998 festival run." -- AllMoive
