| Notes |
| Also Known As: City of God (International: English title) (UK) Cité de Dieu, La (France) God's Town (International: English title) (more) Filming Locations: Cidade de Deus, Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (more) Trivia: In the English-subtitled version, Mané Galinha is instead called "Knockout Ned". Mané Galinha means "Chicken Manuel" in Portuguese. Because his real name is Manuel and he stole chickens. But in the US, "chicken" is slang for "coward". To avoid that connotation, the name Knockout Ned was created because "knockout" refers to how handsome he was as compared to the "ugly" Little Zé. (more) Goofs: Factual errors: During the hotel robbery, Lil Dice is given a six shot revolver. He is not given any additional bullets. He fires more than six shots during his hotel rampage.

Cabeleira: Jesus, I'm gonna stop wasting my saliva on you, you sure ain't easy. Berenice: Hoods never stop, they just take a break. Cabeleira: Jeez, Bernice, talking about love with you is pretty complicated, isn't it? Berenice: Love, you gotta be kidding. You're just leading me on. Cabeleira: But it's just that this jerk here loves you. (more) Awards: Nominated for 4 Oscars.
