Kevin Costner did actually roll over the hood of a moving car during one of the chase sequences. According to the film's original press material, an insurance executive approached director Roger Donaldson after that stunt and said: "Don't you ever... ever... EVER... do that again!"
The dialogue in the limo scene in which Tom asks the driver to raise the screen was improvised and initiated by Kevin Costner. As the other actors' reactions seemed more natural than the scripted version, it was kept in the final print.
At the State dinner Farrell and Susan attend, a Maori troop perform a war dance. Director Roger Donaldson is from New Zealand and put the reference in as a tribute to his homeland.
Kevin Costner performed most of his own stunts. He even drove without wearing his prescription glasses, much to the dismay of the film's insurance company.
Many people consider Tom Farrell as the performance that launched Kevin Costner's career as a leading man.
"[Contra has chased Tom right up to the Secretary's Office when they are stopped by the MPs] Tom Farrell: [to nearest MP] I am your superior officer and I am giving you a direct order to *arrest this man*! Contra #2: I have orders from Pritchard! Tom Farrell: DO IT! Contra #2: I have my orders from Pritchard! Tom Farrell: [to Contra] SHUT UP! [Tom kicks Contra 2 in the groin. Contra is dragged away by the MPs] Tom Farrell: And if he resists, SHOOT HIM! MP: Yes, sir!"
"[last lines] Schiller: [speaks Russian] We thought we'd never see you again. Tom Farrell: [speaks Russian as well] So did I. Schiller: Couldn't you have manage this better? Tom Farrell: Not so fast, it's difficult for me to follow in Russian. [switches back to English] Tom Farrell: It's been very long for me. Schiller: How thirsty you must be for the sound of our language. [switches to English] Schiller: Evgeny Alexeivich, wouldn't you love to hear Russian again? Imagine Pushkin, Lermontov, Tolstoy... Tom Farrell: ...Solzhenitsyn, Aksyonov. Schiller: [chuckles] Even them, always the sense of humor. In the Philippines, when you passed a bag of underwear, Moscow wasn't amused. I should've acted then. In any case, it's no longer possible for to remain United States. This bizarre incident has given them their Yuri. Evgeny, think. THINK! You're a hero of the Soviet Union. Tom Farrell: [darkly] I'm not a hero. Schiller: Be that as it may, you must return! Tom Farrell: [annoyed] I came here! I thought I owed you that - but you can't make me go back. [Tom leaves until the two men cock their guns] Schiller: No! Let him go. [Tom resumes in leaving] Schiller: He'll come back. Where else can he go?"
