FILM 2224: INSIDE MAN (2006)

TRIVIA: The scene in the coffee shop was improvised. On the DVD commentary, Spike Lee states that when Denzel Washington ad-libbed the line "I'll bet you can get a cab though," he nearly ruined the take by laughing so loud at Washington's line.

The interrogation scenes were mostly ad-libbed.

Jodie Foster dubbed herself in the French version.

Marcia Jean Kurtz plays a bank-robbery hostage named Miriam in this movie. Over thirty years earlier, she had also played a bank-robbery hostage named Miriam in Dog Day Afternoon (1975).

The pizza that the police give to the robbers has the name "Sal's", a reference to one of Spike Lee's earlier films, Do the Right Thing (1989).

This marks the fourth collaboration of Spike Lee and Denzel Washington.

Inside Man (2006) stars 3 Oscar winners: Denzel Washington, Jodie Foster and Christopher Plummer and 3 Oscar nominees: Clive Owen, Willem Dafoe and Chiwetel Ejiofor.

Willem Dafoe and Waris Ahluwalia also appear in The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou(2004) and The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014).
