Dedicated to editor Geraldine Peroni, who was an active participant on the show. She was found dead in her New York apartment in what the coroner ruled as a suicide, though Peroni's family continues to dispute this. Peroni also receives a dedication on Brokeback Mountain (2005).
The female assassin on the back of a motorbike is played by Felicia Pearson, a former drug dealer in real life who did time for second degree murder. She was introduced to the production team by Michael Kenneth Williams who met her in a club.
