• Richard Gere and Warren Beatty were originally considered for the role of Gordon Gekko, ultimately played by Michael Douglas.
• Tom Cruise wanted to play the role of Bud Fox, but Oliver Stone had already decided to cast Charlie Sheen.
• The working title of the film was "Greed."
• Actor Martin Sheen, who played Carl Fox, Bud Fox's father, is Charlie Sheen's real father.
• Gordon Gekko talks on a Motorola DynaTac 8000X mobile phone – the world's first cellular phone.
• The first feature film to show a character talking on a cell phone.
• Initially, director and screenwriter Oliver Stone introduced a storyline into the script involving a romance between Fox, played by Charlie Sheen, and the wife of Gordon Gekko, played by Michael Douglas (and this circumstance explained Gekko's attitude towards Fox in the final confrontation), but was forced to abandon this idea due to the mutual dislike between Sheen and the actress Sean Young, who played Kate Gekko.
