At the end of the film, when Freddy and Gary are bringing in Murray Babitch to the NYC authorities, there is one shot of Moe Tilden coming out of a building. In this one shot, his mustache is noticeably longer. Director
James Mangold wanted to get a shot of
Robert De Niro's character walking out of the building. De Niro had already completed his scenes and was already working on another film,
Jackie Brown (1997). De Niro agreed to return and appear in the shot, but could not trim his longer mustache as it was required for his character, Louis Gara, in
Jackie Brown (1997).
