• The role of Vera Cicero was originally assigned to Brooke Shields. However she turned down the offer in order to study French Literature at the Princeton University.
• Movie Goof (continuity error): When Dixie goes to ransom Frenchy there is a different amount of shaving cream on Mad Dog's face in every shot.
• Although the film features several fictional murders, it is associated with one real-life murder. When Robert Evans was raising money for the film, he became associated with a promoter named Roy Radin. Radin was reportedly murdered on May 13, 1983 but his body was not found for several weeks. Evans was not accused of murder but was implicated in the investigation because he was dealing with Radin and Karen Jacobs-Greenberger who introduced Radin to Evans. She was convicted of ordering the murder of Radin and is now serving a life sentence for this crime.
• At one point, relations were so strained between director Francis Ford Coppola and producer Robert Evans that Coppola had Evans banned from the set.
