TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

The film's budget allowed $600 for Matt Dillon to learn to play craps in real games. To make sure the money lasted, a film crew member always bet against him for the same amount so their wins and losses cancelled out.

Third collaboration between Matt Dillon and Diane Lane since working on The Outsiders (1983) and Rumble Fish (1983).

This would be Ben Bolt's only Hollywood feature.

This was director Ben Bolt's first Hollywood feature, and it was greenlit by newly appointed Columbia chief David Puttnam. Puttnam had worked with Bolt's father, the legendary Oscar winning screenwriter Sir Robert Bolt, on several unmade features. Bolt had been brought in to replace Harold Becker after he had fallen a week behind schedule very early on, and spent an inordinate amount of money on a street set.

The film cast includes two Oscar winners: Tommy Lee Jones and Lee Grant; and four Oscar nominees: Matt Dillon, Diane Lane, Sarah Polley and Bruce Dern.
