Handlung
WUSSTEST DU SCHON:
- WissenswertesThe snow plow that drives past the motel at the end of the film was not part of the script. Signs in the area warned motorists not to drive through due to filming, but a state employee ignored them.
- PatzerJean Lundegaard dials 911 from a phone in the upstairs bathroom. A few seconds later, the phone is disconnected. While modern 911 systems could automatically identify the address, that was not the case in 1987. The dispatcher might not have been able to take any further action.
- Zitate
Marge Gunderson: [to Gaear] So, that was Mrs. Lundegaard on the floor in there. And I guess that was your accomplice in the wood chipper. And those three people in Brainerd. And for what? For a little bit of money? There's more to life than a little money, you know. Don'tcha know that? And here ya are, and it's a beautiful day. Well. I just don't understand it.
- Crazy CreditsA symbol similar to the Artist Formerly Known as Prince is in the credits as "victim in field", but it is not him, it is J. Todd Anderson, the storyboard artist.
- Alternative VersionenPolygram Filmed Entertainment sold most of its film library to MGM in 1999. As a result, post-1999 MGM prints have an opening and closing logo except for the 1999 VHS reissue which contained neither logo. In addition, both MGM logos are both plastered in other releases like the 2001 variant in the Blu-ray prints, and 2012 variant in Shout!'s Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD prints.
