Magnolia/Trivia


 * Billing Displacement: Where's Alfred Molina? Oh, there he is. In one scene early on in the film. Despite of this, he is even credited above Melora Walters.
 * The Danza: Luis Guzman has a role as a contestant on "What Do Kids Know?" named Luis Guzman.
 * Deleted Scene / What Happened to the Mouse?: We never really find out what was going on with the dead guy in the closet, or what the boy's confusing rap monologue ("I just told you who did it!") is about, or who "The Worm" is. In fact The Worm, played by Orlando Jones, is the boy's father, and the murderer. All his scenes were cut from the film, and he appears only as the mysterious hooded pedestrian Officer Jim chases before Jim loses his gun.
 * Especially notable in that this is a rare deleted scene that's not available on any DVD release.
 * Production Posse: Cruise and Robards are the only principal players who did not also appear in Anderson's previous film, Boogie Nights.
