Trivia: In the original script, Bernie kills Shannon by choking him with a garrote wire. Bryan Cranston suggested changing it to having Bernie slash Shannon's arm under the pretense of shaking his hand, as the handshake originated as a way for two individuals to demonstrate to each other that they were not carrying a weapon.
Trivia: Despite relatively high billing in the opening credits, Stana Katic only has about five minutes of screen time.
