Trivia: By happenstance, Elijah Wood was having dinner with Robert Rodriguez shortly after he had read all of the Sin City graphic novels, and Rodriguez told him that an adaptation of the graphic novels was his next film. Rodriguez had already shot the opening scene as a proof of concept and showed it to Wood in the parking lot on his laptop.

Audio problem: When Dwight deduces that there is a spy among the girls in Old Town, there is a noticeable shift in the audio when he says "But first we gotta get our hands on Jackie Boy's head before it gets to wherever it's going and this whole situation blows wide open."
