The hot tub was not built properly or chlorinated. Michelle Pfeiffer, her double, and Mel Gibson got skin rashes and splinters from the wood. Production shut down for a few days while Pfeiffer recovered from her rash.
In one scene, Matt LeBlanc appears on the television in a commercial, which was an actual commercial for Heinz ketchup.
Raul Julia, a trained singer, sings a few Spanish songs in the film. Santa Lucia is a traditional Italian song that originated in Naples. Raul Julia sings this during the scene where Mac leaves with Giovanna.
Michelle Pfeiffer reportedly did not get along with writer and director Robert Towne. He called her "the most difficult actress I have ever worked with." This was most likely due to Towne's reputed perfectionism, and the fact that Pfeiffer was going through a divorce.
At the time, Robert Towne was going through legal issues with The Two Jakes (1990), the planned sequel to Chinatown (1974), and it ended up severing his friendship with Jack Nicholson (they have apparently since reconciled). Greg and Carlos each have a speech about friendship, that reflects Towne's feelings of betrayal.
"Carlos: You son of a bitch! How could you do this? Friendship is the only choice in life you can make that's yours! You can't choose your family, God damn it - I've had to face that! And no man should be judged for whatever direction his dick goes - that's like blaming a compass for pointing north, for Christ's sake! Friendship is all we have! We chose each other. How could you fuck it up? How could you make us look so bad?"
"Jo Ann: Mr. McKussic, it seems, has been engaged in his business for purely romantic reasons, whilst you have been engaged in romance for purely business reasons. Nick Frescia: I'm not sure I understand. Jo Ann: A little vague for you? Nick Frescia: A little. Jo Ann: Well, then, let me spell it out for you: you want to fuck your friend, then fuck him, not me!"
