- Interior shots in the Sheriff's Office, courtroom, and stairs from the courtroom were filmed in the old Carroll County courthouse in Vaiden, Miss. Built in 1905, the building was in such disrepair that crew and extras had to dodge falling bricks during filming. Though slated for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, the courthouse has been demolished. 16 of 17 found this interesting Interesting? Yes No |

- Director Alan Parker and his crew whipped up batches of what they called OMD - Old Man's Dick. This ugly mix of purple, yellow and brown was painted on every piece of set - every chair, every table top, every prop. They made up a dye and dipped costumes into it - everyone's from the FBI agents, the white supremacists and the black civil rights campaigners who are murdered at the start.Stephen Tobolowsky, the actor who played white supremacist Clayton Townley saw the process first hand, then went to the film's premiere and wondered why the stuff wasn't showing up on screen.Parker ambushed Tobolowsky afterwards and asked him 'what did you see?'. Tobolowsky said he hadn't seen OMD. 'I didn't ask you what you didn't see, I asked you what you saw'. Tobolowsky suddenly realized his eyes were drawn to the black actor's skin. "Alan's face turned a lovely red and he said 'right'," Tobolowsky said.The only thing OMD didn't touch was human skin. You watch the film and the OMD is invisible but it gives everything except human skin a dull sameness that makes your eyes look elsewhere - to human skin, the most important visual in a film about racism. 5 of 8 found this interesting Interesting?

- A Klansman in a red car with tall fins and white roof throws a victim out the door in the town square. The car is a 1961 DeSoto, the very last edition of the historic make.

- As a frankly fictionalized account of the investigation of the murders of three civil rights workers 25 years ago, the movie ''Mississippi Burning'' has been criticized for distorting history even as it has won widespread acclaim.But whatever liberties the movie may have taken with the facts of 1964 Mississippi, one scene has the absolute ring of truth: the radio roar of a distant crowd cheering a home run by a member of the 1964 St. Louis Cardinals.For all its apparent authenticity, however, including the actual voice of the longtime Cardinals announcer, Jack Buck, the baseball broadcast is pure fiction. 1 of 2 found this interesting Interesting?

Goofs: Incorrectly regarded as goofs: The movie is set in "Jessup County", Mississippi. The events on which the film is based occurred in Neshoba County, but it is likely that the producers deliberately altered the setting to dispel perceptions that the film is a true documentary.
