Trivia

• Following Rodriguez's scoring of Tarantino's ' for $1, Quentin Tarantino directed a scene of Sin City for $1. Tarantino had previously advocated film over the digital cameras used by Rodriguez, but was interested to get to work with them. The scene in question is in The Big Fat Kill, where Dwight drives Det. Jack "Jackie Boy" Rafferty to the "pits". Tarantino wanted to use a real car for the scene but was unable to get the angles he wanted. Rodriguez convinced him to film on a partial set of the automobile interior, constructing the car's roof and sides using CGI, which ultimately resulted in Tarantino getting the shots he desired.
• Frank Miller appears in the film as The Priest.
• Quentin Tarantino appears in the conclusion of That Yellow Bastard during the bar scene, sitting next to Marv as they watch Nancy dance.
• The swords used by Devon Aoki in this film are the same ones used by Uma Thurman in Kill Bill.
• The interior of Kadie's Bar was one of the few sets actually constructed for the movie.
• Both Josh Hartnett and Elijah Wood appeared in a previous film directed by Rodriguez, The Faculty.
• An argument about the movie is alleged to have inspired a male cinema patron in Bathurst, Australia to bite the tip off another man's nose. The two men, who were not known to each other, began arguing after a screening of the movie on July 17, 2005. The man's nose was restored by surgery and police were said to be searching for his attacker http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2005/07/18/1121538902049.html?from=top5.
