Line 5:
* [[Fake Irish]]: Averted in some notable cases (Ben Affleck does have Irish ancestry, and Slaine is outspokenly Irish-American), but mostly played straight.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: The bank manager from the opening scene is Mr. Andrews from ''[[Titanic]]''. Also, you might know Fergie the Florist as Roland Tembo from the sequel to ''[[Jurassic Park]]'', or as Kobayashi from ''[[The Usual Suspects]]''. And one of the cops investigating the crimes is the Man in Black from ''[[Lost]].'' And for those who saw ''[[Gone Baby Gone]]'', Affleck's directorial debut, Bubba reappears as Gloansy.
* [[Those Two Actors]]: Titus Welliver and Slaine were in the previous film that Ben Affleck directed, ''[[Gone Baby Gone]]'', which included Ben's brother Casey. Welliver and Victor Garber (Claire's boss) would also appear in Affleck's next film ''[[Argo]]''.
* The "bank" they rob in the North End (seen [https://web.archive.org/web/20111004161123/http://www.north-end-boston.com/images/exterior_pics/3652.jpg here]) is a laundromat in real life, but the exterior looks fancy enough that they could pass it off as a bank in the movie. One troper lives nearby, and to this day people sometimes stop in front of it and stare inside, as if they can't believe it's really a laundromat.
