• At one point, it can be seen that Angela is warming her legs under her dress. This is not noticeable during a long take of the same scene.
• So much material was left out of the film that director Jonathan Demme (1944-2017) inserted it at the very end of the film, into the credits.
• According to Matthew Modine, he was depressed during the filming of this movie, as it reminded him too much of filming Stanley Kubrick's (1928-1998) war drama 'Full Metal Jacket' (1987).
• The filmmakers revised the screenplay six times in hopes of convincing Tom Cruise to join the cast. Instead, Cruise chose to film with Roger Donaldson in the romantic comedy "Cocktail" (1988).
• Mark R. Burns decided as early as age ten that he would one day write a screenplay about the mafia. His home on Long Island was later attacked, and it was then discovered that his own father was involved in organized crime structures.
• The camera and a crew member are visible in the reflection in the window when agents Downey and Benitez are following Angela.
• The size of the flower bouquet is inconsistent across different shots.
• When Tony's wife is flying to Miami to meet her husband, a microphone is visible at the bottom of the screen as she retrieves a jacket from the overhead compartment.
