At the time of filming, Jack Nicholson had just embarked on his longstanding relationship with Anjelica Huston. This made his scenes with her father, John Huston, rather uncomfortable, especially as the only time Anjelica was on set was the day they were filming the scene where Noah Cross interrogates Nicholson's character with "Mr. Gittes...do you sleep with my daughter?"
After several takes that never looked quite right, Faye Dunaway got annoyed and told Jack Nicholson to actually slap her. He did and felt very guilty for it, despite it being Dunaway's decision. The shot made it into the movie.
Roman Polanski said that in staying true to the tradition of Raymond Chandler's detective stories, he shot the whole movie from the perspective of the main character.
Jack Nicholson (Jake Gittes) is present in every scene of the film.
Screenwriter Robert Towne was originally offered $125,000 to write a screenplay for The Great Gatsby (1974), but Towne felt he couldn't do better than F. Scott Fitzgerald novel and accepted $25,000 to write his own story, "Chinatown," instead.
"[last lines] Walsh: Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown."
"[an anonymous caller has telephoned Gittes] Ida Sessions: Are you alone? Jake Gittes: Isn't everybody?"
