What's left behind the scenes

  • The first Western film whose crew was permitted to film on Red Square in Moscow.
  • Most of the Moscow scenes were actually filmed in Hungary.
  • The film is dedicated to the memory of stunt coordinator Benny Dobbins, who died of a heart attack on the set of this film.
  • Around 200 prisoners were used as extras for filming the prison scene.
  • Before filming began, Arnold Schwarzenegger took Russian language lessons for three months.
  • Before filming began, James Belushi spent two weeks working at a Chicago police station.
  • Ivan Danko (Schwarzenegger) uses a "Podberin 9.2mm" pistol. This pistol does not actually exist. What is shown in the film is a modified "Desert Eagle Magnum".
  • In one scene of the film, Danko discusses the problem of heroin in America. He also names a location in the US where this problem is most acute – Harlem, however, in the English subtitles, this location is indicated as Miami.
  • Before filming began, Walter Hill asked Arnold Schwarzenegger to lose 10 pounds (approximately 4.5 kg), and James Belushi to gain 10 pounds.
  • In the coffee shop, Rydzyk shows Danko various police reports that he needs to fill out. If you look closely at the form shown in close-up, you can see its title – "Useless Chicago Police Incident Report".
  • It took the filmmakers six months to obtain permission to film in Red Square. They were allowed to film in the very center of Moscow only because the main character of the film was Russian.
  • The name and signature preceding Ivan Danko's in the hotel guestbook belong to Jim Morrison, the leader of The Doors.
  • The music in the opening and closing credits is a fragment of Prokofiev's "Cantata for the 20th Anniversary of the October Revolution," which is not even mentioned in the credits.
  • The drug dealer dressed in a white suit whom Rostaveli met at the bus station is named Lupo. He is the same Lupo from the film "Extreme Measures" (1987): he appears at the very end of the film, after Nick Nolte's character has shot Powers Boothe's character.
  • It took the filmmakers six months to obtain permission to shoot on Red Square. They were only granted permission because the main character was Russian.
