In the scene at the end where Ethan Hawke jumps on Denzel's car the car gets bashed front, back, and the windshield is shattered. Later, when Denzel stops at the traffic lights before he is killed, the car looks in much better shape. See more...
Directed by Antoine Fuqua, starring Denzel Washington, Ethan Hawke, Scott Glenn (add more)
The scene at the start of the movie where Ethan meets Denzel in the diner - it is the same diner that is used in the movie "Seven," where Morgan Freeman meets with Gwyneth Paltrow. If you watch these two scenes, you can see exactly the same camera angles (i.e. the cook cracking eggs onto the hot stove).
The film was shot on location, and some real gangs can be seen in the street when Denzel Washington goes to visit his wife/girlfriend and also during the showdown at the end.
About 30% of Denzel Washington's dialogue was improvised.
The Quality Cafe that Ethan first meets Denzel in was also the place of employment for Nicholas Cage's mom in "Gone in 60 Seconds"
