After he decided to make the film, Al Pacino invited Frank Serpico to stay with him at a house that Pacino had rented in Montauk, NY. When Pacino asked Serpico, "Why did you do it?" Serpico replied, "Well, Al, I don't know. I guess I would have to say it would be because if I didn't, who would I be when I listened to a piece of music?"
The film was shot in reverse order. Al Pacino began with long hair and a beard, then for each scene, his hair and beard were trimmed bit by bit until he became clean-cut.
The film ends with an epilogue that says, "Frank Serpico resigned from the Police Department on June 15,1972. He was awarded the Medal of Honor for conspicuous bravery in action. Serpico is now living somewhere in Switzerland." Serpico discovered he didn't like Switzerland, and returned to the US. As of 2015 he was living on a small farm in upstate New York and working as a guest lecturer at police academies across the US.
Al Pacino considers this movie to be one of his greatest achievements as an actor.
In the film, Serpico has two girlfriends, Leslie and Laurie. In real life, he married both women, plus two more, Mary Ann and Marianne.
"Frank Serpico: The reality is that we do not wash our own laundry - it just gets dirtier."
"[Given a detective's gold badge] Frank Serpico: What's this for? For bein' an honest cop? Hmm? Or for being stupid enough to get shot in the face? You tell them that they can shove it."
