What's left behind the scenes
- Richard Gere plays the trumpet beautifully and performed his parts in the film himself.
- The character of Bumpy, played by Laurence Fishburne, is based on Ellsworth Raymond "Bumpy" Johnson (1905-1968), a gangster who ruled Harlem in the 20th century. In 1997, Fishburne again played Johnson in Bill Duke's film "Gangster".
- The storyline of the relationship between the characters played by Gregory Hines and Maurice Hines is partially based on real events.
- According to producer Robert Evans, Richard Pryor (1940-2005) was initially cast as Sandman Williams, but they had to part ways due to the size of the fee the actor demanded.
- It is claimed that over 600 people were involved in the construction of the sets, the creation of costumes, and the arrangement of the music, and that their daily wages totaled $250,000.
- The role of Vera Cicero was initially offered to Brooke Shields, but she declined it, preferring to study French literature at Princeton University.
- Francis Ford Coppola's passion for improvisation during filming led to the script being constantly rewritten. There were days when actors spent the entire day on set without appearing in a single scene.
- One of three films in which Diane Lane and Richard Gere play a loving couple. The other such films are Adrian Lyne's dramatic thriller 'Unfaithful' (2002) and George C. Wolfe's drama 'Nights in Rodanthe' (2008).
- Nicolas Cage's character, Vincent 'Mad Dog' Dwyer, is based on the real-life gangster Vincent 'Mad Dog' Coll (1908-1932).
- The character of Bomby, played by Laurence Fishburne, is based on Ellsworth Raymond “Bumpy” Johnson (1905-1968), a gangster who ruled Harlem in the 20th century. In 1997, Fishburne again played Johnson in Bill Duke’s film “Gangster”.
