La Haine/Trivia

• Hey, It's That Guy!: Thought that skinhead looked a little familiar? It's Nino, from Amelie. Who also directed the movie. His father also appears as the owner of an art gallery.
  • Fans of French film might recognize one of the police officers as Djamel, the adorably awkward and good-natured neighbor from Chacun Cherche son Chat (titled "When the Cat's Away" in the U.S.). In La Haine, he is not so adorable.
  • This was Vincent Cassel's breakthrough role.
