Lewis Teague was paid eleven thousand dollars to direct this film. However, since this movie was made non-union, he had to pay his entire salary as a fine to the Director's Guild.
John Sayles' original script had a more diverse array of hit songs from the late 1920s and early 1930s, but this idea had to be nixed because the budget was too low to pay for the clearance rights to all these songs.
Shot in four weeks.
When Lewis Teague directed Robert Forster in a short second unit scene for Avalanche (1978), two of them decided that if Teague got to direct a full movie, he would offer Forster a role. However, when the time came, Forster's agent thought the role of Turk was too small for him, and persuaded him to refuse billing.
Near the climax, Eddie (Glenn Withrow) manages to escape from a police blockade by driving backwards. During his audio commentary, John Sayles reveals that he had originally written an earlier scene, in which Dillinger (Robert Conrad) taught Eddie how to drive a car backwards. But this scene was cut for time and budgetary reasons, and was never shot.
"Satin (a prostitute): The day I can't handle the likes of him, I best get me a needle and thread and sew it shut."
"Turk: Jake Lingle? Polly Franklin sends her regards. [shoots Lingle, killing him]"
