Factual error: When Joe is first imprisoned in 1993 he's flicking through channels and passes a scene from Xena: Warrior Princess. Xena didn't air until 1995.

1 factual error
Directed by: Spike Lee

Continuity mistake: Joe is looking through his yearbook while Marie chats with the old headmistress. He finds the page with Adrian's photo. At first, the name under the photo is Adrian Pryce. In the closeup shot, it now reads Adrian Doyle Pryce. (01:12:20)
Chaney: Shit, you might wanna think about what you're doing here.
Joe Doucett: I've been thinking about it for the last 20 years.
Trivia: At the beginning of the film, we see Joe buying a "rubber ducky" for his daughter from a female street vendor. The street vendor is wearing a set of "Angel Wings" on her back. This is a reference to the original Korean film, in which the lead character had bought his daughter a similar set of "Angel Wings" to wear.
