Arnold Schwarzenegger thought the script was one of the best he'd ever read. He especially liked all of the elements of comedy, action, drama, and satire in it.
Charles Dance said in interviews that, after being told that he had won a part turned down by Alan Rickman because of the salary, he wore a t-shirt on set which read; "I'm cheaper than Alan Rickman!'. Tim Curry was also considered for the role of Benedict.
The AC/DC song "Big Gun" was specifically written for this movie after Arnold Schwarzenegger personally approached the group and asked them to write a song for it.
The merchandising people came up with some Jack Slater action figures with guns. Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed the idea because this movie was a warmer, more cuddly action movie. Merchandising included seven video games, a $20 million Burger King promotion, a $36 million theme park ride, N.A.S.A.'s first paid ad in space, and a four-story inflatable Jack Slater at Cannes. Schwarzenegger gave forty television interviews and fifty-four print interviews in twenty-four hours, setting a new personal record.
"Danny Madigan: You think you are funny, don't you? Jack Slater: I know I am. I'm the famous comedian Arnold Braunschweiger. Danny Madigan: Schwarzenegger! Jack Slater: Gesundheit."
"[after seeing a "Terminator 2" poster with Sylvester Stallone] Danny Madigan: No. It's not possible! Jack Slater: What's not possible? The man is an artist. It's his best performance ever! Danny Madigan: But... that was you! YOU were in that movie! [a girl close-by hears them] Video Babe: [to Jack] You were in a movie? Jack Slater: Yes. It was called "The Girl of My Dreams". It starred you. As a matter of fact, there was this very romantic scene where we had dinner together."
