(Trivia)
Line 34:
** There are also scenes in the beginning where the police kills innocent bystanders by accident, then simply shrug and plant false evidence on them.
* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]: The reason why Mané Galinha (Knockout Ned) becomes a [[Fallen Hero]]. Look above at the [[Complete Monster]] entry.
* [[Enforced Method Acting]]: Somehow it falls on this. On the infamous [[Sadistic Choice]] scene, Meirelles, the director wasn't getting the appropriate acting from the crying child, so the pedopsychologist found out that the child's greatest fear was of having a toothache, and she told him to imagine that he has a toothache in the foot.
** Except for two professional actresses (Angélica's actress was just starting and eventually played a major role in ''[[I Am Legend]]'', for example), almost all of the actors were actual children from the favelas (Brazilian slums).
* [[Everything's Better with Chickens]]: The chicken chased around in the film's opening {{spoiler|/ending}} even got in [http://nohaybanda.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/cidade.jpg the poster].
* [[Fallen Hero]]: Mané Galinha (Knockout Ned), to the point of becoming an antagonist.
