Loved the DVD commentary, that final scene was shot from a helicopter, they were either going to get the scene or die trying, apparently. They were climbing at much more than the limits of the chopper, and the cameraman was hanging on for dear life.

Phil Spector was hired because he had the Rolls Royce and the bodyguard.

Fantastic movie, the graveyard scene kind of causes angst, but great filmmaking, imho.
