Val Kilmer gained a significant amount of weight for his role as an abusive alcoholic father.
Noah Fleiss (April 16, 1984) is two months younger than Peter Tambakis (February 15, 1984) who plays Joe Henry five years younger
Frank Whaley has referred to this movie as "semi-autobiographical."
Near the end of the movie where Henry is making an attempt to tell Joe how much he really cares, the lullaby music coming form the ice cream truck was unintentional. But Whaley liked the way it felt, so he left it in.
John Leguizamo was originally set to direct the film, but after being cast as Jorge as well, as serving as executive producer, Frank Whaley stepped in as director as well as staying on as a producer.
"Bob Henry: There's people who do good, Joey. They have... a family... a job... I had a job. Swabbed floors, made a livin'. I had a pension comin'. Joe Henry: I gotta go. Bob Henry: What I'm sayin' is... There are good people, Joey, and then there are people like me. Don't get caught on the wrong side of that equation."
"[spanking Joe violently, making it personal] Mrs. Basil: You're just like your father."
