- TriviaWhen Lou Solverson (Patrick Wilson) gets out of his police car in front of the butcher shop, the Mike Zoss Pharmacy is seen across the street; this was also the name of the pharmacy where Chigurh blows up the car in No Country for Old Men (2007), noted in trivia for that film as a tribute to the Coen brothers' (Joel Coen & Ethan Coen) childhood hangout Mike Zoss Drugs, and also the namesake of their production company Mike Zoss Productions.
- GoofsWhen Lou Solverson and Hank Larsson are swapping war stories on the steps of the diner, Lou tells of his witnessing the combat death of a comrade while on a patrol boat in what is presumably Vietnam in 1974. Most US ground/sea forces were withdrawn after the ceasefire in 1973. Any remaining personnel would not have been witness to, or involved in, any combat situations by 1974.
- Quotes
Mike Milligan: And isn't that a minor miracle? The state of the world today and the level of conflict and misunderstanding, that two men could stand on a lonely road in winter and talk calmly and rationally... while all around them, people are losing their mind.

Featured review
The Gang's All Here!
With the stroke, the Geahardts are looking for someone to lead them. Mom is the one who decides to be it, but the eldest son thinks otherwise. They have been visited by the Kansas City mob who have made an offer, an offer which means taking the money or becoming targets. Of course, one of the boys is in a freezer after committing multiple murders in Luverne where the the butcher's assistant and his wife are trying to cover things up. Representing Kansas City is a cold young black man and his two partners who look like a couple Amish guys (they are practically twins). There is one of those scenes where the sheriff (Ted Danson) stops these guys and as he tries to do his job. The talk leads to an incredible tension among them where every movement is filled with potential violence. That is matched by Ed's late night trip to the butcher shop and the arrival of Lou, who sees the lights on and Ed's pickup. He buys some bacon to take home in another one of those scenes where discovery is a possibility. Watch for the search for the quarter. Masterful directing, to say the least.
