• The film's plot unfolds in Detroit, Michigan, while filming took place in Cleveland, Ohio.
• During the last week of filming in Cleveland, work on the film had to be stopped twice due to shootings in the area near the set.
• During the events leading up to the court hearing, a police officer named Gil Hill is mentioned a couple of times (although he is, of course, never shown on screen). This is the same Gil Hill who would later gain fame and popularity as Axel Foley's boss in the "Beverly Hills Cop" franchise (1984, 1987, 1994). After retiring from the Detroit Police Department, he entered politics as a member of the Detroit City Council, and later its chairman. He was involved in the "White Boy Rick" case during his time with the police.
