- Acclaimed Flop: The film did quite poorly at the box office despite good reviews.
- Hey It's That Guy: The mug shot shown on Red's parole paperwork is a photo of Morgan Freeman's son Alfonso. Alfonso also has a cameo at the beginning of the movie, he's the inmate who says "Fresh fish! Fresh fish today! We're reeling 'em in!" as the bus carrying Andy comes in.
- Insert Cameo: The hands loading the gun in the beginning of the film belong to director Frank Darabont.
- He also starred as Fred Redding in the parody short The SharkTank Redemption.
- Reality Is Unrealistic: This movie was criticized for portraying prison guards as using beatings to control inmates, but prison guards have been known to do exactly that in real life.
- Throw It In: Tim Robbins ad-libbed Andy Dufresne turning up the volume on the speaker in defiance of Norton telling him to turn it off.
- What Could Have Been: Tom Hanks turned down the role of Andy Dufresne.
- As did Kevin Costner, in order to make Waterworld. Needless to say, he regrets it.
