Not only did the real Richie Roberts serve as Frank Lucas's lawyer after he went into private practice, he was godfather to Lucas's son.
While filming on-location in the Chiang Mai province of Thailand, Sir Ridley Scott hired many extras from the local villages, some of whom were actual participants in the drug-running operation of Frank Lucas during the Vietnam War.
Sir Ridley Scott recalls that this production was one of the most massive undertakings of his career. There were 360 scenes filmed in over 180 different locations.
In the Madison Garden Sequence, only 650 of the spectators on camera were real extras; the other 1,500 were inflatable dummies.
Frank Lucas was excited about the film; however, he admitted that only a small portion of the film was true, and that much of it was fabricated for dramatic effect. Similarly, Richie Roberts criticized the film for its inaccuracy, and said it made Lucas too noble.
"Frank Lucas: The loudest one in the room is the weakest one in the room."
"Dominic Cattano: Success. It's got enemies. You can be successful and have enemies or you can be unsuccessful and have friends."
