Non-trope trivia

• William Petersen was rather haunted by the movie and his role in it, according to The Other Wiki and some of Petersen's fan pages. After filming finished, he cut and dyed his hair and shaved off his beard to get Will Graham out of his system.

Trivia tropes

• The Danza: William Petersen as William "Will" Graham.
• Hey, It's That Guy!: Is that Bennings? Oh, yeah, and Gil Grissom, Detective Fontana and Cain.
  • Wow, Colonel Quaritch used to be a much less impressive individual.
  • It would seem that Scolar Visari spends his free time killing college girls For the Evulz.
• Playing Against Type: Chris Elliott, of all people, in an entirely straight role as one of the FBI techs.
• Unintentional Period Piece: The soundtrack and fashions in the film permanently mark it as a product of the 1980s.
• What Could Have Been: According to Brian Cox, Brian Dennehy was "sort of in the loop" to play Lektor. Dennehy, for whatever reason, recommended that they check out Cox, who was performing in a play at the time.
