    Trivia: There are 27 entries in the trivia list – like these:

    • Goldie Hawn and Meryl Streep wanted to make a movie together and Thelma & Louise was one of the scripts they considered. Ultimately, they decided to star in Death Becomes Her (1992) instead.
    • In the scene where the tanker truck is shot and blown up, the reactions of Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis were supposed to be genuine. Rather than filming separate reaction shots, director Ridley Scott rigged the tanker to blow up during the take, in order to get authentic expressions of surprise from the two leads. Despite this, they were so astonished while watching it that they forgot to actually react, so Scott had to film their reactions again.
    • For the more raunchy sex scenes between Brad Pitt and Geena Davis, director Ridley Scott had assumed that a body double would be needed for Geena. Shortly after he'd begun auditioning prospective doubles, Davis learned of Scott's intentions and insisted that no doubles were needed in those steamy scenes.

    Plot: Hit man Philip Raven, whos kind to children and cats, kills a blackmailer and is paid off by traitor Willard Gates in “hot” money. Meanwhile, pert entertainer Ellen Graham, girlfriend of police Lieut. Crane (whos after Raven) is enlisted by a Senate committee to help investigate Gates. Raven, seeking Gates for revenge, meets Ellen on the train; their relationship gradually evolves from that of killer and potential victim to an uneasy alliance against a common enemy.

    Crazy Credits: We know about 3 Crazy Credits. One of them reads:
    At the end of the last scene, the words “The End” (and production company and distributor credits) are superimposed. But then Kirk Douglas says in voiceover “Hold it! Stop!” The text now disappears again and the music score also stops. He continues: “Thats the end of the picture, but its not the end of the mystery.” Scenes featuring four of the films minor roles are now quickly reprised, with a suitable musical score, and the four actors each remove face masks and other makeup to reveal that the respective parts were played by Tony Curtis, Burt Lancaster, Robert Mitchum, and Frank Sinatra. Finally, Douglas similarly reprises five disguises that his character wore during the course of the story, and after the last one, reveals his face (which we had already seen when his character was undisguised). He says to the camera, “Ladies and gentlemen — The End”, and continues picking off bits of face mask glue while the musical theme concludes.

    Goofs: We know about 1 goofs. Here comes one of them:
    Boom mic visible: As Ellen and Michael leave the arcade, the shadow of a boom mike is visible on a wall behind them.
