The cast included Paul Newman, Jude Law, and Daniel Craig, whom Mendes would later direct in two James Bond films: 2012's Skyfall and 2015's Spectre.

The following weapons were used in the film Road to Perdition:

Handguns

Colt M1911A1

The M1911A1 is the most commonly seen gun in the movie, used primarily by mob soldier Michael Sullivan (Tom Hanks). Connor Rooney (Daniel Craig) also uses a Colt-produced M1911A1 with diamond grips. A major error occurs during the hotel fight with Maguire (Jude Law), just before Sullivan fires the 1911's slide is clearly locked back, indicating that the weapon is out of ammunition. (actually, this appears to be a sound-editing error. Slow motion shows Sullivan falling backwards and pulling the trigger, firing the last round and locking back the slide, however the sound of the shot doesn't come until a few moments later, making it appear that he fired the round with the slide locked back. What is interesting is that Sullivan only fires four shots before his slide locks back which means he didn't top off his magazine before the encounter.)

-== M1911A1 ==
+==Colt M1911A1==
-The [[M1911A1]] is the most commonly seen gun in the movie, used primarily by mob soldier Michael Sullivan ([[Tom Hanks]]). Connor Rooney ([[Daniel Craig]]) also uses an M1911A1 when murdering Finn McGovern ([[Ciarán Hinds]]) and, later, Sullivan's wife Annie ([[Jennifer Jason Leigh]]) and youngest son Peter ([[Liam Aiken]]). A major error occurs during the hotel fight with Maguire (Jude Law), just before Sullivan fires the shot that wounds the assassin, as the 1911's slide is clearly locked back, indicating that the weapon is out of ammunition. (actually, this appears to be a sound-editing error. Slow motion shows Sullivan falling backwards and pulling the trigger, firing the last round and locking back the slide, however the sound of the shot deosn't come until a few moments later, making it appear that he fired the round with the slide locked back. What is interesting is that Sullivan only fires four shots before his slide locks back, a bit odd considering that a 1911 magazine holds 7 rounds + 1 in the chamber.)

-=== 1911 "Non Gun" ===
+==M1911 "Non Gun"==
-In some shots where an actor is required to fire the 1911 close to another actor, a [["Non Guns"#Colt 1911|1911 "Non Gun"]] is substituted. Non Guns are electronically-operated and discharge small explosive squibs that make a flash and produce smoke, but they do not eject shell casings or have any moving parts besides the trigger. Sullivan can be seen using a non-gun when he kills Connor Rooney. This is obvious, as the gun fires three times, but no casings are seen leaving the weapon (they are heard hitting the ground), the slide never cycles, and the gun is seen firing with the hammer down, even though it is a single action pistol.
