Sin City

Trivia: Because everything was shot against a green screen, some bits of colour proved difficult. Yellow Bastard especially was hard, as yellow bleeds into the green screen and can't be separated cleanly. To get around this, Robert Rodriguez painted him blue, then turned him yellow in post production.

Trivia: When Hartigan picks up the book of matches for the bar that Nancy works in, it is the cover to the Sin City Trade "Booze, Broads & Bullets."

Trivia: Miho's swords are the same ones carried by the Crazy 88's in Kill Bill vol.1. The prop designers asked Tarantino if they could borrow them and he let them.

Trivia: When Hartigan re-steals the Ferrari from the hotel he and Nancy were at, there are three guns. One is an absolutely huge hand cannon with heat absorbers and the works. That gun is actually Robocop's gun - co-director Frank Miller wrote Robocop 2 and 3.

Trivia: There is a bit of Frank Miller trivia hidden on screen during the segment when Jackie Boy and his soldiers enter the apartment of Brittany Murphy. On the t-shirt of the soldier (the one Shellie threatens with the knife), there is a symbol of a peace sign in a circle with a star on the left and stripes on the right. That is the symbol for the P.A.X. forces from Frank Miller's comic about Martha Washington, such as in "Give Me Liberty".

Factual error: When Marv is talking with the Priest in the confessional, he cocks the hammer of his pistol as a means of interrogation. But in the next shot, the pistol is uncocked, without sufficient time for this to occur. In fact, the pistol is uncocked even when Marv shoots him. This cannot happen, since his pistol is a standard 1911 .45, which requires the hammer to be cocked in order to fire.

Marv: I don't know why you died, Goldie. I don't know why and I don't know how. I never even met you before tonight. But you were a friend and more when I needed one. And when I find out who did it, it won't be quick and quiet like it was with you. It'll be loud and nasty - my kind of kill. And when his eyes go dead, the hell I send him to will seem like heaven after what I've done to him. I love you, Goldie.

Chosen answer: I think we can safely assume that "The Man" kills Becky in the elevator, yes. But unlike the first woman, Becky had done something to piss off a lot of people (basically betraying all the girls working in Old Town), and they sent him to eliminate her.
