** Mark Rolston, the actor who played Boggs (a serial rapist) genuinely seemed overjoyed to be working with everyone in interviews and seems nothing like his character. |

** Bob Gunton, who played Warden Norton, is by all accounts a quite laid-back and chilled out guy (and for real, not in the evil or fake kind of way). |

* [[Reality Is Unrealistic]]: This movie was criticized for portraying prison guards as using beatings to control inmates, [http://www.correctionsone.com/treatment/articles/2017869-ACLU-suing-Corrections-Corp-of-America/ 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. |

* [[Vindicated by Cable]]: Back in 1994, it earned just over $28 million at the US box office; it has since enjoyed a remarkable life on cable television and home video. Ted Turner loved this movie so much, he made sure it was playing on at least one of his cable networks every weekend for about a decade, which helped the film earn back its budget and give it the mainstream recognition it never received while in theaters. You can still find it on [[TBS]] or a similar channel, even 15 years later. |
