Walter's toy poodle Queenie was played by the same dog that played Precious in The Silence of the Lambs (1991).
Tom Hanks improvised the scene where he picks up the gurney and puts himself into the ambulance.
The street was shot on the Universal back lot. It has been used for many films and television shows, including Desperate Housewives (2004). Some of the buildings have changed over time, but Walter's house is the only building on the lot that hasn't changed at all.
Everyone in the cast and crew had a good time working on the film, so much so that Tom Hanks personally bought everyone sunglasses and left a personal thank you note to everyone in the cast and the crew.
The film was shot in sequence and was filmed during the writer's strike of 1988. The film was rushed into production to avoid a Writers Guild of America's (WGA) strike. Principal photography began the same day the strike went into effect, May 19, 1988. Although Dana Olsen, the writer, appeared in the film, he was prohibited from contributing anything to the script while on set. For this reason, Joe Dante encouraged the actors to improvise many scenes. One example was the moment when Rumsfield rips the Klopeks' wallpaper, an idea from Bruce Dern. Rick Ducommun ad-libbed many of his lines, including the "Satan is good, Satan is our pal" dialogue. Tom Hanks and Carrie Fisher came up with the idea of playing along with Jeopardy! (1984) at home.
"Mark Rumsfield: Klopek... what is that, Slavic? Reuben: NO. Mark Rumsfield: 'Bout a nine on the tension scale, Reub."
"Ray Peterson: [chanting] I'm not going to listen to this, I'm not going to hear this now. Art: Ray! Ray! You're chanting! Art: [points to book] Ray. Ray, look. Art: Ray, unconscious chanting! You're chanting! Ray Peterson: [continues chanting with fingers in ears] Art: [chants] I want to kill everyone. Satan is good. Satan is our pal. Art: Ray. Ray, you're chanting! Hey, once they [points to book] Art: get in here... [points to Ray's head] Art: ...it's over, pal."
