Studio executives were so sure this film would flop that Robert Zemeckis was pre-emptively fired from directing Cocoon (1985). It turned out to be such a success that Zemeckis was able to go forward on his own project, Back to the Future (1985).
This was the only produced screenplay for writer Diane Thomas. She had been working as a waitress in Malibu when producer/star Michael Douglas optioned her script for $250,000, allowing her to quit her job. Sadly, Thomas died in a car accident, while working on a new movie project with Steven Spielberg the following year, about seven weeks before the opening of this film's sequel, The Jewel of the Nile (1985). She was a passenger while her boyfriend was driving a Porsche that Douglas had bought for her as a thank you gift. The Jewel of the Nile (1985) was dedicated "In Memory of" Thomas.
Though described by some film critics as a "rip-off" of 1981's Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981), the original screenplay had actually been written five years earlier around 1979.
Mary Ellen Trainor who plays Elaine, Joan's sister, was also one of the writers.
This film marked the beginning of director Robert Zemeckis's partnership with composer Alan Silvestri. Ever since then, Silvestri has composed the music for every Zemeckis-directed film.
"Jack Colton: What did you do, wake up this morning and say, "Today, I'm going to ruin a man's life"?"
"Joan Wilder: What is all this? Jack Colton: All this? About five to life in the States, a couple of centuries down here. Joan Wilder: Oh, marijuana. Jack Colton: Oh, you smoke it? Joan Wilder: [defensively] I went to college."
