Factual error: The Lee Enfield rifle is chambered by singular repetitions with a bolt action. When Collins' wayward friend is shot in the water, the rifle shots are rapid semi-automatic fire.

Trivia: Brendan Gleeson, who plays Collins' aide Liam Tobin, played Collins in the 1991 TV movie The Treaty.
