Trivia: When the brothers and Rocco battle Il Duce, Willem Dafoe falls to his knees with his arms raised, composing the classical music in the background as he visualizes the actions. This closely resembles Dafoe's death scene from Platoon (1986).

Trivia: When transposed, the first couple letters of Agent Paul Smecker's name change to "Smaul Pecker" (Small Pecker).

Visible crew/equipment: In the firefight scene, when Rocco and the brothers walk out of the house and see Il Duce, crew members are visible in the sunglasses. The most prominent example is in the head-on shot of the three men with Rocco in the middle. A man in a red jacket holding the camera is visible along with a half-dozen other crew members. Several of the shots between the timestamps have crew members' reflections visible in the glasses. (01:17:45 - 01:18:15)

The Priest: Would they ever harm an innocent person for any reason?

Question: What is the idea/situation behind the whole scene at the beginning of the film where the two 'Saints' walk up to the alter?

Answer: The priest thought they were trying to attack or assault the other priest, but since they Saints are very religious and the other priest knows it, he let them be. They kissed the statue to show respect.
