Dog Day Afternoon/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Award Snub: This is the movie Pacino should have won Best Actor for.
    • Cazale's performance in this film was the only time he received a nomination - with the Golden Globes for Best Supporting Actor. He still didn't win.
  • Harsher in Hindsight: A hostage offers cigarettes to Sal (played by Cazale) but he declines, saying "I don't want to get the cancer." Cazale died of cancer after making The Deer Hunter.
  • Retroactive Recognition: One of the FBI agents on-scene is played by then-unknown Lance Henriksen. He's a silent background character until the end.
