* [[All-Star Cast]]:
* [[Billing Displacement]]: Kevin Spacey is listed first, though Russell Crowe and Guy Pearce's roles are more substantial in the film. This is probably an effort to establish Spacey as a decoy protagonist considering he was the most famous actor in the film. Crowe was an unknown at the time, and only later became a "name" actor. The even lesser-known Pearce, who is arguably the main character, is given third billing after Crowe and Spacey.
* [[Dueling Movies]]: In contest with ''
* [[Fake American]]: The two leads, [[Russell Crowe]] and Guy Pearce, are actually Aussies.
