When Carl is being beat up by Shep, Shep is shouting a whole bunch of obscenities and gibberish at Carl, but during several shots where we see his face, the audio is not matched up to what he is shouting. See more...

The movie wasn't based on a true story. The Coen brothers just threw that in for whatever reason.
When William Macy was trying out for the part of Jerry Lundegaard, he said to the Cohens he'd shoot their dogs if they didn't give him the role.
Note in the end credits that there is the symbol for "the Artist Formally Known as Prince" (a Minnesota native) placed sideways.
The storyboard artist for the movie has a small role. He is the driver of the car that slowly passes by when Buscemi is dragging the state trooper's body off the road.
