When Lee Marvin arrived on the set, in Helsinki, he was sent to the local hospital because of his long time illness due to alcoholism. So director Michael Apted rehearsed with Marvin in the hospital bedroom.
Gorky Park in this movie was not the real Gorky Park in Moscow, Russia but actually was portrayed by the Kaisaniemi Park in Helsinki, Finland.
Producer Howard W. Koch said of the making of this movie whilst doing press for the picture: "We couldn't even get into Russia to film it and I can't say any of us were surprised. But that's what makes it so special. We're chalking up a first here. Nobody ever made a modern thriller like this set in Russia. It's just a pity they don't like us doing it." Koch added: "They kept telling us 'There's no crime or corruption in Moscow'. But it's like any urban city in the world, of course there's crime. They just don't tell anyone about it. That's what you get with a closed society."
The glamorous elaborate bath house seen in the movie was actually a Swedish health center in Stockholm in Sweden and was apparently owned by pop group ABBA during the time of the making of this movie.
Helsinki stood in for Moscow in this movie. Because of the Cold War, Gorky Park could not be filmed on actual location in Moscow. The film group decided to come to Helsinki, the architecture of which is similar to Russian architecture.
"Irina Asanova: KGB have better cars, you know. Arkady Renko: Ah, but they don't always take you where you want to go, do they?"
"Arkady Renko: Too many people in our society disappear without trace. Professor Andreev: Oh. Why is that? Arkady Renko: They fall into a chasm. Professor Andreev: What sort of chasm? Arkady Renko: The one between what is said and what is done. Professor Andreev: [Renko is talking very loudly, and Andreev's lab technicians are listening] You may not be long for this world, my fine imprudent fellow."
