According to James Woods, he went to watch the film at a local theatre and while he was leaving, a refugee from El Salvador knelt before him and kissed his hand, thanking him for telling the story of her family's massacre.
When James Woods discovered that there was a blank cartridge in the rifle which could have damaged his head, he refused to continue with the scene, resulting in another of the many fierce arguments between the cast and crew.
According to director Oliver Stone, there was a dinner where James Woods (Richard Boyle) and Jim Belushi (Doctor Rock) met their real-life counterparts. In Stone's words, Belushi stormed out of the dinner in a rage, while Woods did not get along with the real Boyle.
This film was part of a cycle of pictures made during the 1980s that featured journalists covering war. The movies include: Salvador (1986), Under Fire (1983), Circle of Deceit (1981), Witness in the War Zone (1987), Cry Freedom (1987), The Killing Fields (1984) and The Year of Living Dangerously (1982).
An advisor for the film was killed in El Salvador during production.
"John Cassady: You gotta get close to get the truth. You get too close, you die."
"Richard Boyle: [to his captors] I hope you all get anal herpes!"
