- TriviaSeveral of the clowns and journalists in the last scene are really fans of Álex de la Iglesia. They were invited by the director himself for supporting him through his official website.
- GoofsThe inspector pulls Don Antonio's bridgework out of the hot furnace on a shovel, picks it off the shovel with tweezers, and drops it into a plastic bag. It should have melted the bag!
- Quotes
[when trying to pay for the movie "Perfect Crime," the code says "Ferpect Crime"]
Rafael: It's "Perfect", with a P... and there it reads..."Ferpect", with an F.
Clerk: Yes, but the price is right, isn't it?
Rafael: It's "Perfect", but it reads "Ferpect." Why?
Clerk: It must be a typo.
Rafael: Fuck. "Ferpect Crime."
- Crazy creditsInitial credits are written on different papers which are sometimes on the wrong order and then rearrange (Fernando Tejero initially appears as Fernando Rojete; see Dick Van Dyke credit in 'Mary Poppins'). The title initially appears as Crimen Perfecto, and then rearranges to Crimen Ferpecto.

The thing I liked most about this movie was the extremely smooth way of telling the story. As the movie started, I almost immediately got sucked into the story by the hypnotic, yet very funny way of displaying the plot. Not only the script or the acting, but also camera, light, sound and editing - all aspects of the movie presentation where thoughtfully placed and dozed to make up the right mix for a really well made movie.
The way of telling the story is almost a story for itself. The sequence of the scenes performs twists of its own, the way they are filmed and edited adds a whole new level, a sub plot so to speak. The scene presentation, the "image", plays an important role and I'd say it's the most grave factor that makes this movie unique.
The pace of the movie (regarding the story telling style, not the plot itself) slows down towards the end to leaves space for more roughness and suspense.
I really hope to see much more of Alex del la Iglesia in the future because what I got to see yet is always getting even better.
8 out of 10.
