• Kevin Costner is listed above Clint Eastwood in the film's billing. Thus, this is the first film since "California Gold" (1969) in which Eastwood is not in the top billing position.
• Eastwood initially planned to cast Denzel Washington in the role of Haynes.
• Initially, Clint Eastwood planned for his involvement in the project to be limited to his duties as director and producer. He was persuaded to act in the film by Kevin Costner.
• At one point during filming, Kevin Costner, in a fit of anger, demonstratively walked off the set. Director Clint Eastwood, instead of waiting for the actor to return, continued filming with his stand-in, Mark Thomason. Costner eventually calmed down and came back, but the scene had already been completed without him. Eastwood warned the actor that he would continue to work with his stand-in (and even film close-ups of him) if the need arose. Costner didn't allow himself to do that again.
• The song "Sea of Troubles," featured in the film, was also used in another Eastwood film – "Heartbreak Ridge" (1986).
• The photo on the film's poster is not a frame from the film itself. In the film, Philip is always dressed unusually – initially in underwear, then in Casper's costume.
