The character of Carl Lazlo is loosely based on 60's Chicano lawyer Oscar Zeta Acosta. Acosta was briefly Thompson's attorney during the 1970's and is the basis for the character of Dr. Gonzo in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. The title of this movie is a reference to Acosta's book "Autobiography of a Brown Buffalo".
Movie Goof (miscellaneous): On the closing credits, Creedence Clearwater Revival is misspelled as "Credence."
In an early scene, the establishing shot outside a seedy bar contains two seedy characters standing outside it, lighting cigarettes. They are musician Neil Young and music producer David Briggs (XII), who contributed to the soundtrack selection and recording.
Ralph Steadman (II), who did illustrations for Thompson's books, drew the title cards for this movie.
