• Movie Goof (plot holes): Throughout the whole movie, Ganz is holding Luther's girlfriend Rosie hostage. She is even with Ganz on the bus when Luther comes on board to give Ganz the money. However, after Ganz shoots Luther and the bus chase begins, she is no longer seen. Not even in the interior shots of the bus as Ganz is shooting at Jack and Reggie. Later on Keyhoe tells Jack that the bus was abandoned in Chinatown but does not mention Rosie. From the point that Luther is shot until the end, there is no indication of whether or not Ganz killed Rosie or let her go.
• Movie Goof (continuity error): After Jack loses his gun to Ganz, he is told by his captain to "borrow a new one", then is seen checking the cylinder on a brand new revolver. In the next scene, in his captain's office, he puts a automatic pistol in his holster and uses it in the rest of the movie.
• Eddie Murphy states in his 2008 Biography special that his character's name was originally scripted to be "Willie Biggs." He had concerns with that name as it sounded too much like a "Hollywood, made-up, black guy's name." He suggested the last name Hammond based on a raspy-voiced, cool kid from his hometown named Terrance Hammond. Reggie was a compromise by having just the first name be a typical "Hollywood, made-up, black guy name."
• David Patrick Kelly also played a character named "Luther" in The Warriors, also directed by Walter Hill.
