Movie Trivia/Goofs

  • In the Lundegaard's house, the magazine rack by the toilet holds a Playboy magazine. It's visible when Jerry comes back home and sees the aftermath of the kidnapping.
  • Movie Goof (continuity error): Only Steve Buscemi's character drags the dead trooper off the road. When Frances McDormand's character is looking in the snow, there's 2 sets of footprints.
  • William H. Macy begged the directors for the role of Jerry Lundegaard. He did two readings for the part, and became convinced he was the best man for the role. When the Coens didn't get back to him, he flew to New York (where they were starting production) and said, "I'm very, very worried that you are going to screw up this movie by giving this role to somebody else. It's my role, and I'll shoot your dogs if you don't give it to me." He was joking, of course.
  • Movie Goof (continuity error): During the parking garage sequence, the neon clock at Minneapolis City Hall (visible in some shots) shows a very different time from when the money was supposed to be exchanged. According to the same clock, nearly an hour elapses between Carl's departure and Jerry's arrival.
