Sherilyn Fenn was originally considered for the role of the femme fatale Lola, eventually played by Sean Young. Fenn opted for the role of Armand Assante's lovesick secretary Laura and suggested director Carl Reiner cast Young as Lola.
When Max Shady adjusts the setting on his silencer while planning to kill Ned Ravine on the train you will notice a volume setting that goes up to 11. This is a nod to Carl Reiner's son Rob's mock rockumentary This Is Spinal Tap (1984) which stars Christopher Guest. Guest's character (Nigel Tufnel) proudly displays his amp that also goes to 11.
A scene was filmed with Dudley Moore appearing in drag as Max Shady's mother, testifying at Lana's trial. Although the scene was cut from the movie, it is included on the DVD release.
This went straight to video in the UK after a disastrous marketing campaign led to a shortened run at the US box office.
Laura makes a reference to Ravine as a "Mambo King type" a reference to his starring role in the film, The Mambo Kings (1992).
"Lola Cain: You really are incredibly stupid, aren't you? I like that in a man. Ned Ravine: I don't look as dumb as I am."
"Lola Cain: So, I hear you go both ways. Ned Ravine: [surprised] Only once. It was a fraternity prank. I never saw him again. Lola Cain: No, I mean you're a cop and a lawyer. Ned Ravine: Lot of scum out there on the streets. They all deserve a fair and costly trial."
