In 1996 I was an expat Minnesotan sitting in a movie theater in Taipei Taiwan when the Fargo trailer came on. I was sliding down my seat laughing, crying and marveling that the Coens had done an entire film in MN dialect. Everyone else looked at me like I was crazy. I was the only person in the theater that got the joke. Also, the most true to life Minnesotan character was the guy sweeping his driveway, the taciturn Mr. Mohra. There are a million guys like that up north.

I used to be one of 'em, eh? Except I was upscale, had a Honda snow blower, doncha know? You know it's really cold when a Minnesotan you pass on the street says "Cold enough for ya?"

If you like Fargo I really suggest checking out Kumiko The Treasure Hunter, which is the story of a girl who thinks that Fargo really is a "true story" and goes to find the buried money. It really plays off of Fargo and has a lot of little details and references.

In about 1992 I was drinking on a Sunday morning in the King of Clubs bar in Northeast Minneapolis where the hooker scene was filmed. I was looking through the want ads for a kitten. The waitress came over to take my order and asked what I was looking for in the want ads. When I told her that I was looking for a kitten she said, "hang on". 20 minutes later she walked over and put a kitten on my table. Apparently a friend's cat had just had kittens. I tipped her well. I had some interesting times in that bar. Too bad they tore it down.

Another thing to mention is that the Coen Brothers we’re trying to make Jerry Lundegards office look like a jail cell with the white walls and the grey vertical blinds shown either in front of him or behind him.

[@BradiKal61]

I remember that some of the snow scenes looked a little weird in Fargo, like when a guy is shoveling snow but it's actually wet slush which didn't seem right. Funny thing is in 1990 when Die Hard 2 was being shot the production crew was chasing snow and went all the way from Montana through Colorado to Michigan with warm temperatures just a day or two behind them after every move. In Alpena Michigan the temperature went from 10° below zero one night to 50° the next day and the snow piles that they collected melted and forced them to move even further north into Michigan's upper peninsula

[@chicobicalho5621]

In 1984 I was a RISD student, and had been a cinephile since childhood (my dad took me to Buñuel films since I was 6 or 7, and I loved them!). There was a lovely small film theater in Providence that showed only the so-called "art movies"; it was called Cable Car Cinena, and it had about 30 couches instead of regular seats. I went as regularly as I had meals, maybe 3 or 4 times a week, and one day the words "BLOOD SIMPLE" were written at the door in marker, as it was customary. I watched it, and got utterly transfixed by it. Next day I was so enthusiastic describing the film to everyone ai knew that the 6 PM showing had a hefty line of RISD kids, and I know this because I was there too. The day after, the line was a lot longer because of hip Brown students who frequented our side of the hill got word of it. In the end, the theater owners extended the showing of Blood Simple for an extra 21 days, and myself and a few other kids went at least a dozen times for details. Since then, I must have watched it maybe 40 or 50 times on DVD with the 'shorter' director's cut, which only the CBs could come up with and it has to have been a joke, knowing those two. Then, when Raising Arizona rolled around I was terribly disappointed, because that smart bit of screenplaying Pauline Kael referred to as "Providing the audience with a God's eye view" was subbed by a frenetic pace exhausting even to a 19 year old

[@Gravedigga63]

I can't believe it took me so long to watch this movie. I was laughing my ass off the entire way through.

[@jaimelannister1797]

How though. I didn’t find anything funny and didn’t even know it’s supposed to be funny. Did I miss something.

[@Gravedigga63]

Sheev Palpatine I mean, I guess you’re allowed to not find it funny, but it’s intended as a black comedy. The comedy is not super overt and it’s intentionally blended with some really dark subject matter. The intentionally over embellished accents are a big part of what I loved, considering there’s a juxtaposition of these silly kind of upbeat accents and polite mannerisms with some pretty brutal violence and greed. The absurdity of the whole thing is what makes me laugh, but hey, humour’s subjective, you’re not wrong for not finding it funny.

[@jaimelannister1797]

MildGonolini that’s pretty interesting and I enjoy a lot of black comedies with pulp fiction being my favorite film, but there was nothing that seemed funny to me. I still enjoyed the movie though as a crime thriller but there was never anything that was funny to me aside from one or two lines that made me give a slight chuckle

[@jaimelannister1797]

I think I need to give a rewatch, though. Maybe if I rewatch I’ll like it more. It seems like one of those movies to me

[@Gravedigga63]

Sheev Palpatine I personally love it, obviously, but yeah may be worth rewatching. I’m surprised the humour wasn’t as noticeable to you if you like Pulp Fiction, I love it too because I find it (and Fargo) does black humour so well.

[@treetgtt4144]

Love this movie, a couple of things I noticed i never heard mentioned. One was when Jerry comes home to find Jean kidnapped, he goes upstairs with the groceries, i mean no one would do that. Do they have a kitchen, upstairs, i doubt it. Not sure if that was done intentionally for the wtf effect. Also near that scene, if you look at the magazine holder near the toilet, you clearly see an issue of playboy. Lmao, who would leave a copy there, i doubt a family with a child, i am sure that was done intentionally, lol.

[@misterwhipple2870]

My favorite bit of trivia from Fargo -- which, it seems, not a lot of other people noticed -- is the part where Marge is at the woodchipper. When the guy throws a piece of firewood at her they switch to her, and quite a large and heavy piece of firewood HITS HER, damn hard, on the side of her calf. I can guarantee you that had to hurt like hell and made a HUGE bruise. She acted like it didn't even hit her. Anyone who has handled firewood like that (and, basically watched it's trajectory to have an idea of the heft of it) would know how much getting hit like that would hurt. EDIT: You can see it here, at about time 1:36 kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqqzmaZ6Ztt7fc0

@@coolnamebro No. You can tell by the way it hits her leg that it's a real (heavy) piece of wood (so says I, who have been around a LOT of pieces of wood just like it).

A possible connection between two Best Picture nominees: about halfway through "All the President's Men" (1974), Bob Woodward, played by Robert Redford, phones a Twin Cities businessman in the course of trying to "follow the money" that will connect the Watergrate break-in to Pres. Nixon. The man, Kenneth Dahlberg, explains on the call that he is distraught because his neighbor's wife has just been kidnapped. That really happened, and it has been proposed that the kidnapping of Virginia Piper (who was recovered alive in Duluth after a $1 million ransom had been paid) was one of the Coens' sources.

Excellent film! I like the story of how Macy campaigned for his role. I always felt sorry for Scotty, the son. Of course, Frances was superb. You betcha!

[@liveforeverjr1]

do whats the difference? with no country for old man pretty please

[@TheMadisonMachine]

+Alex Stephens Most of the plot and dialogue is taken directly from the book. The only difference I can really remember is in the book, Llewellyn picked up a young female hitch hiker who was a companion for a while, whereas the movie portrays her only briefly as the woman offering him the beers in her room at the hotel just before he died.

[@edwoodsr]

And Llewellyn's wife finds out about the hitchhiker when she's brought to the motel. This makes the interaction between her and Chigurh more poignant.

[@t4705mb6]

Oofta! Not enough snirt! One of my favorite films - right up there with Gummo, The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, Time bandits, Sling Blade and Parents.

[@chaosawaits]

I heard a story that a woman froze to death looking for the money because she thought the events of the movie really happened

[@GeoffBurt08]

Another little piece of trivia is about the satchel. The same satchel Buscemi's character tries to hide in the snow along the highway is the very same satchel discovered by Josh Brolin's character in "No Country..."

[@CharlieDB96]

Hail Caesar was a great movie if you're the type of person that enjoys films like The Grand Budapest Hotel, which I am :p

[@tgs40]

That's a good comparison.

[@jackdonohue7893]

I saw both. They were both good, but Grand Budapest was better

[@kgpspyguy]

When you're young it's all fillet steak (the grand budapest hotel) but as you get older you switch to the cheaper cuts (Hail Caesar) Which is fine, because I LIKE those. More flavorful they say.

[@wattsnottaken1]

I’m from Minnesota and the stereotypical Minnesotan shown in this movie is so god damn funny but over exaggerated a bit a lot of “oh yahh” and “you betcha” among other things too lol

[@LovlyHorror]

Holy shit. I just noticed Saffron from "Absolutely Fabulous" in that truecoat scam scene. Found my own personal thing I didn't know.

[@mrgreengenes04]

Brigit Bryner it's not Julia Sawalha from Ab Fab. The actress is Sally Wingert

[@HeronPoint2021]

All my relations are from Minnesota, as it wasn't cold enough they walked into Canada and homesteaded in nw Ontario.

[@xerop6819]

I love the movie and the TV show :D

[@talesfromthetoiletseat8295]

Fargo is so good I need to watch it again. It has been a while.

[@shawntannehill]

Do one on the TV show. I really liked them both. What was with the UFO in season 2?

[@FreakieFan]

the second season was pretty disappointing imo,the first season was much better

[@gwshelton4875]

The guy pushing Buscemi into the wood chipper, is that Slippery Pete, the Frogger electrician off of Seinfeld ? It just hit me 😂

[@loudrockacdc]

No way haha I just saw Fargo like an hour ago what a coincidence

[@user-hq8mx7mn3u]

+loudrockacdc yeah... You watched a film, went on the internet and found a video related TO THAT MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THEN YOU CLICKED ON IT !!!! OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!

[@gabrielmcconnor4493]

+That Guy Well, it's more coincidental when the video was just uploaded. Say that you just read a book, and then your favorite KZbinr uploads a review of that book an hour later. Is that not a bit coincidental?

[@loudrockacdc]

Yeah, why do you just insist on having to be THAT GUY. I like to appreciate little things like this :)

[@KhalDrogo76]

I've watched this movie 50x and its yet to get old

[@rohandante]

In this movie I thought everyone had crush on Margie especially from her department

[@yzerman8654]

The "burying the briefcase of money" scene was shot between the city of Grafton, ND and the municipal airport. If you google map the coordinates, 48.412539, -97.377878, you can still see the barbed wire fence. When the camera pans right, you can see the sillouette of Grafton, and when it pans left, you can faintly see the airport light tower. Buscemi and the crew ate at the local diner for breakfast that morning. Filled up with gas at the old Jet Oil station which is now a Subway and my brother was working the counter.

[@crazyjohnt8012]

And the scenes with the car flipped in the ditch and all the Paul Bunyan statue scenes were filmed about 6 miles south of Neche and 4 miles west of Bathgate. Pretty sure the opening shot of the highway was done on Highway 18

[@danabrown6747]

@@crazyjohnt8012 I am actually trying to locate the spot where the car was flipped over in the ditch.. where the 2 people were shot. In the movie.. poles were along the road.. 6 mi south/4 mi west of Bathgate,,, I am not seeing any poles along the ditch.

Pity there wasn't a "thing you didn't know" regarding Takako Konishi... JTKWLum mentioned her below but it's worth a Google. Just search her name or look for a film called "This Is A True Story" by Paul Berczeller

[@misteryman526]

+Iain Meldrum (mixolosopher) Except that her story didn't actually have anything to do with the movie 'Fargo'. The connection between her story and Fargo is an urban myth. She was actually in the States following a man who had been a banker overseas when she met him. Fargo was his home town and the only interaction between Konishi and a local cop included the word "Fargo" several times (she didn't actually speak any English). She ended up committing suicide by drinking a bunch of champagne and then letting herself freeze to death out in the woods.

[@iainjames03]

MiSt 526 Yes I know - that's why I recommended "This Is A True Story" cos it digs deeper into the myth and reveals the truth behind it. But the fact that the cop - and later the media - connected it to the film ought to make it enough to be a 'thing you didn't know'. It was certainly enough to inspire a fictional film called "Kumiko - The Treasure Hunter" which DOES have a Japanese girl head off to Minnesota in search of the buried money after finding an old copy of the film and believing it to be true.

[@lishafairbairn2341]

As a Minnesotan, their accent is hilarious! They took our accent and blew it up into massive proportions! Uff da!

[@davem.8681]

I grew up in Fargo and I have heard people say "Fargo Minnesota. Fargo is across from Moorhead Minnesota. I do think the oh yah's are way too much over-done.

Uff-dah and point of order. Those Minnesota accents are pretty darn good, don't-chya know. I grew up there and they got this mostly right on.
