• Lundgren underwent special training in handling the armor-piercing rifle featured in the film. According to the instructor, Dolph showed excellent results during the training.
• The original plot involved a sniper (Lundgren) being contracted to kill a tough police officer (Brandon Lee), after which they were supposed to team up against a common enemy. Brandon signed a contract and was going to start filming after completing work on 'The Crow' (1994), but due to well-known tragic circumstances, this did not happen. As a result, the script was rewritten.
• During filming, a one-and-a-half-meter scale model of the building where the characters of Bellman and Lundgren are located according to the plot was used.
• Writer Sergio Alteri later wrote a series of three novels titled «The Sniper» (published in Italy) based on his screenplay and character.
• The original title of the film was «Algonquin Goodbye», an ironic reference to the Algonquin Hotel in New York.
