Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The names Sapphira and Ananias reference Acts 5 — biblical figures struck dead for deceit, foreshadowing the lovers' fatal lies to themselves.
Astley shot the climactic mirror scene in a real barbershop at 4 AM after the owner agreed to one take. The gun jammed, then worked — that genuine panic in Murphy's eyes made the final cut.
