Crazy Credits: We know about 3 Crazy Credits. One of them reads:
As the credits roll, a comedy reel shows scenes which didn't make it into the movie.

Goofs: We know about 2 goofs. Here comes one of them:
Factual errors: For most of the movie the actors use the correct badge for their rank. However towards the climax of the movie Where Jimmy Egen and Ray Tierney fight it out, Ray uses the wrong badge. He starts the scene with his Detective's shield and Jimmy has his Sergeant's shield. However, when Ray places his shield on the bar he places down an Deputy Inspectors shield, not the Detective's shield he has at the beginning and end of the fight sequence.

Trivia: There are 3 entries in the trivia list - like these:

• In 2001, Mark Wahlberg and Hugh Jackman were in talks to star. Production was scheduled to begin in February 2002. But after the September 11, 2001 attack on New York City and the celebrated heroics of the city's police, it was deemed inappropriate to make a film featuring corrupt NYPD officers at the time.
• Nick Nolte was originally cast as Francis Tierney, Sr. But an old knee injury flared up and Nolte found himself unable to perform when he came to the set.
• Ryan Simpkins and Lake Bell had their hair dyed red for this film.
