The incident in which Zalmie's mother dies is the 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, one of the worst industrial disasters in New York City's history. 146 garment workers, mostly immigrant women, died either in the fire, or by jumping from the windows of the 8th-10th floors because the doors were locked shut. The fire prompted legislative and union action to improve safety and working conditions in garment sweatshops. The words "Triangle Shirtwaist" can be briefly seen on the wall of the sweatshop during the first scene of the sequence.
Some of the gangland scenes are rotoscoped footage from The Public Enemy (1931).
According to Ralph Bakshi, he originally wanted to end the movie with Pete playing Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Free Bird", but the producers chose Bob Seger's "Night Moves" instead. "Free Bird" plays over the end credits.
Although all of the characters are fictional, many were partially inspired by real people. The character of Frankie, for instance, was based on Grace Slick (of Jefferson Airplane) and Janis Joplin (of Big Brother and the Holding Company).
The two dancers in the "Sing, Sing, Sing (With a Swing)" montage are The Nicholas Brothers, Harold Nicholas and Fayard Nicholas. The animators directly rotoscoped their dance from Stormy Weather (1943).
"[the 1980s - Pete has grown up dealing cocaine. He arrives at a recording studio] Pete: [Slamming down briefcase full of cocaine on table] Pizza man! We deliver! Musician: You got the coke, daddy-o? Pete: What do I look like, man? A soda fountain? Musician: Hey, what else you got there? Pete: Songs. Musician: You scorin' songs now too? Pete: Givin' 'em away, a song an ounce. Musician: By who? Pete: Me! Musician: You can keep the songs, man. Pete: I will keep the coke too!"
"Zalmie: Hey, Louie. I just seen the most beautiful thing I ever seen in the whole world. Louie: Some pre-Prohibition booze, huh? Zalmie: No. I seen the stripper gettin' dressed. Louie: A stripper gettin' dressed ain't beautiful unless she's ugly to begin with."
