[edit] Trivia

None of the trivia has been sourced so I'm moving it here for the time being until it can be integrated into other sections. --J.D. 16:09, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia

• Sam Raimi's long time friends Joel Coen (husband of Frances McDormand) and Ethan Coen make a brief appearance in Darkman. They are driving a 1973 Oldsmobile, dubbed "the Classic", which has appeared in most of Raimi's films.

• During a scene in the movie Darkman, Peyton/Darkman cries out, "Julie!" This is actually voiced by Bruce Campbell, good friend of director Sam Raimi and from Evil Dead/Army of Darkness fame. He also appears at the end of the movie as Darkman's last incarnation, taking one last look at his girlfriend before disappearing into a crowd.

• Ted Raimi, the director's brother, played Durant's bespectacled henchman Rick, who meets with an untimely end by way of an open manhole and a semi. In an interview, Raimi claimed that he tried to make his character subtly homosexual, which may explain why Durant appears to particularly care for this henchman.

• A sound bite from this film is mixed into the Velvet Acid Christ song Futile (Nazi Bastard).

• In one scene, there is a closeup of a pupil constricting in reaction to a large explosion. A similar Sam Raimi shot is seen in the climax of Spider Man, when the Green Goblin hurls a Pumpkin Bomb that explodes point-blank in Spidey's face.

[edit] slogan?

I vaguely remember a slogan for this movie, which was, I believe "What evil lurks in the hearts of men?", it was on posters and what-not. Maybe this deserves a mention if someone can attest to it? 67.5.156.62 (talk) 11:43, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

"What evil lurks in the hearts of men" was the slogan for the 1994 film The Shadow (1994 film). All Hallow's Wraith (talk) 06:59, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
