Trivia
A number of pieces of the set, including those used for the rooftop chase, were sold to the production of Matrix (1999) at the end of shooting.

Errores
(at around 1h 5 mins) When the glass partition is broken, a second sheet of glass is used to protect Jennifer Connelly. At slow speeds, John's hand is clearly visible reflected in this safety glass.

Citas
John Murdoch: When was the last time you remember doing something during the day?
Inspector Frank Bumstead: What do you mean?
John Murdoch: I just mean during the day. Daylight. When was the last time you remember seeing it? And I'm not talking about some distant, half-forgotten childhood memory, I mean like yesterday. Last week. Can you come up with a single memory? You can't, can you? You know something, I don't think the sun even... exists... in this place. 'Cause I've been up for hours, and hours, and hours, and the night never ends here.

Créditos curiosos
There are two different Panavision credits used: the "Camera Equipment: Panavision" credit, and after that, the "Filmed in Panavision" credit with "Lenses & Cameras by" above it, despite being shot in Super 35.

Versiones alternativas
The director's cut omits the opening monologue.

Incredible atmosphere surrounding a thoughtful plot.

How had I never heard of this film before?

This was an absolute feast for the eyes in terms of atmosphere, set design and tone. I loved the neo-noir vibes, the sense of mystery and the philosophy behind it all. It has a few drawbacks. This is pre-Matrix, so there's way too many camera shots in the action, and Kiefer Sutherland's accent makes some of his expository dialogue a chore, even though the content is interesting.

To be clear, I watched the Director's Cut, which seems like the definitive way to watch the film after looking up the differences. Seriously, why explain the mystery at the start in voiceover? Did the studios not learn from Blade Runner?

If you're looking for a sci-fi film that's incredibly pretty and decently thoughtful, look no further. Dark City is a very fun, and quite dark ride.
