The Coen brothers' Fargo was released 20 years ago and to celebrate, Cinefix has a video about seven things you (probably) didn't know about Fargo. The movie, not the city. There are probably way more than seven things you don't know about Fargo, North Dakota.
Fun fact: I was living in WI near the MN border when Fargo came out and remember all the Minnesotans complaining about the accents. While I won't say the accents were entirely accurate, all you had to do was turn on the MN State hockey tournament on channel 9 and listen to the announcers for a few minutes to confirm that they weren't all that far off. (See also the 2016 Minnesota State High School All Hockey Hair Team. Uff da.)
