Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Hollow Point (1996)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- During filming of a car crash on Montreal's Rachel Street on 10 May 1995, a metal plate welded under the vehicle to hold an explosive charge tore apart and struck grips Christian Sauvageau and Jean-François Bourassa. Sauvageau suffered an open arm fracture; Bourassa died on the way to hospital, believed to be the first death caused by filming in Canada.
- Montreal police quickly found no criminal negligence, but a Quebec Work, Health and Safety Board report later determined the metal had not been soldered strongly enough for the 680 grams (24 oz) of black powder used in the explosion, and that the 28-meter safety distance was insufficient.
- In June 1996 a Montreal labor court fined Productions de l'intrigue CAD$7,500 for failing to adequately secure the blast zone, and Christian Sauvageau soon sued the company and Filmline International for $265,000; the outcome is unknown.
- Donald Sutherland objected to the look of the set representing his character's lair, insisting it did not fit his portrayal even though he never used it and only other actors were seen there; director Sidney J. Furie had a new one built.
- The diner shown in the film sits in Longueuil, but had been moved there from Palmer by a local entrepreneur, giving one of the film's locations a tie to Massachusetts.
- The film was dedicated to Bourassa's memory, and shortly after his death a scholarship was announced in his honor at Concordia University, where he had studied and played for the varsity football team.
