What's left behind the scenes
- The film's title was borrowed from the professional jargon of jewelers, where these words denote the transformation of a precious stone into a piece of jewelry.
- Reports of increased kidnappings in Colombia prompted the filmmakers to move filming to Mexico.
- Before Michael Douglas agreed to play Jake Colton, Sylvester Stallone and Christopher Reeve turned down the role.
- The treasure map for the film was created by the renowned puzzle maker Dr. Krypton.
- Joan Wilder's water taxi is named «Orca», just as Quint named his boat in the film «Jaws» (1975).
- The American author who wrote the novel upon which the film's screenplay is based shares the same name as the film's protagonist – Joan Wilder. This woman likely served as the prototype for the main character. Wilder later wrote the novel «The Jewel of the Nile» based on the sequel film to «Romancing the Stone».
- The final episode, where a pristine white yacht glides amidst the urban landscape of New York City, was filmed on 42nd Street.
- Screenwriter Diane Thomas was working as a waitress in Malibu when Michael Douglas (who was involved in the film as a producer and actor) bought her screenplay for $250,000, allowing her to quit her job. A year later, Thomas died in a car accident while working on the sequel to this film – Lewis Teague’s action movie “Jewel of the Nile” (1985). The sequel is dedicated to the memory of Diane Thomas.
- During the dance scene, Michael Douglas had no idea he was being filmed. He was simply dancing with Kathleen Turner and extras, and director Robert Zemeckis ordered the camera to be turned on.
- Initially, Michael Douglas wasn't sure if he wanted to work on the film, although he liked the script. He finally decided to take on the project, realizing that he could demonstrate his climbing skills and abilities developed back in his youth while filming the historical drama “Spartacus” (Stanley Kubrick and Anthony Mann, 1960), where his father Kirk Douglas starred, and the filming itself mainly took place in Death Valley National Park in California.
