The on-camera relationship between Charles Luther (Gene Simmons) and Jack Ramsay (Tom Selleck) is one of intense emotion. "While we're playing a scene I hate his guts", Simmons said of Selleck and added, "I really want to kill him. It's funny, when doing this stuff it all wells up. I can't concentrate on giving somebody a certain look for an extended period of time without my temperature rising and my emotions starting to boil. Sometimes I would make up stuff about Tom, little things that would irritate me. And afterwards, I would go up to Tom and say, 'Look, I don't know if I was too . . . and he'd interrupt and say, 'NO, no. Don't explain anything. You're doing great'."
An assistant director came up to Gene Simmons during the location filming and said that one of the off-duty Vancouver police doing crowd control had pointed at Simmons and said, "better get him outta there". Upon being assured by the assistant director that he was one of the actors, the cop continued, "I don't know . . . if I shook hands with him, I'd count all my fingers".
Gene Simmons, in his book "Sex Money Kiss", said that director Michael Crichton's casting of him was based primarily on an audition where Crichton asked Simmons to stare at him for about a minute without making any facial expressions. Apparently, Crichton decided that Simmons looked menacing enough and cast him for the role of Luther.
The film accurately predicts domestic robots, video mail, social media, the Internet, voice-activated computers, biometric security (retinal identification), camera drones, tablet PCs, wireless headsets, and that police officers would use semi-automatic pistols as sidearms (in 1984, most police officers used revolvers).
The pistol used by Ramsay is a custom-built Detonics 1911 9mm with the muzzle belled to look like a .45.
"Ramsay: Congratulations, guys, you just staked out a roll of toilet paper."
"Luther: I watch, I look, I listen. I'm watching you now. Ramsay: Right. What's on your mind, Luther Luther: You're standing by the desk punching buttons on the console, trying to trace this call, which won't do shit! Because I'm calling from a mobile phone. Now you're looking around... Now you're cupping your hand over the receiver! Ramsay: He's tapped into the closed-circuit TV!"
