Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sean Connery, and Michael Douglas all auditioned for the role of Robert Ret, played by Stallone.
Initially, director David Anspaugh did not want to film this movie, believing that little of value could be made with such a budget. He was persuaded to reconsider by his friend and screenwriter Angelo Pizzo, who said the budget would be increased, which in reality did not happen.
During the production of the film, Brian Helgeland was asked to make changes to the script. This did not sit well with the other screenwriters – Lilly and Lana Wachowski, who even asked that their names not be mentioned in connection with the film at all and be removed from the credits, but the Writers Guild of America forbade this.
According to director Richard Donner (1930-2021), the film would have only benefited from swapping Sylvester Stallone and Antonio Banderas’ roles.
Initially, Mel Gibson showed interest in filming this movie. He even told his friend Richard Donner that he really liked the script. But then Gibson became busy with the project 'Braveheart' (1995), where he was both director and actor, and Donner took over 'Assassins' himself.
