What's left behind the scenes
- The film is inspired by Edwin Torres' novel "After Hours" (1979). The film's title was changed to avoid confusion with Martin Scorsese's comedy-drama "After Hours" (1985).
- Brian De Palma originally planned to film the film's ending in the World Trade Center in New York.
- The name of the nightclub run by Carlito (Al Pacino) is "El Paraiso." A diner with the same name also appeared in the film "Scarface" (1983), where Al Pacino's character once worked.
- As Sean Penn admitted, he agreed to play David Kleinfeld solely for the money, in order to finance his second film, "The Crossing Guard" (1995).
- Filming the foot chase took several months. According to Brian De Palma, "We started shooting the chase in winter and finished in mid-summer." It was especially difficult for Al Pacino to film in the summer, as his character had to be wearing a coat.
- Initially, Al Pacino wanted to grow a ponytail for the role of Carlito, but he went to Harlem and realized that no one there wore ponytails.
- According to Brian De Palma, Sean Penn demanded 30 takes for one scene. When De Palma was about to move on to filming the next scene, Penn yelled at him. He continued to yell at the director on the way back to New York, and later, after they had returned, he called De Palma and continued yelling over the phone. As De Palma said, it was the only argument during the entire filming process.
- In the billiard room scene (22nd minute), one of the men in the room is setting up the balls with a triangle that is full, but there is a blue and red ball next to the cue ball. When Carlito starts walking, these balls disappear.
