Tony Scott hated working with producer Joel Silver so much that he based the character Lee Donowitz, movie producer and cocaine user and dealer in his next movie True Romance (1993) on Silver and he made sure for him to look and act just like Silver did.
Assistant director James W. Skotchdopole later recalled how some of the production problems were caused due to the "Overabundance of alpha males on that project". As he said in an interview; "Bruce was at the height of his stardom, so was Joel, so was Tony and so was Shane. There were a lot of people who had a lot of opinions about what to do. There were some heated, early-Nineties, testosterone charged personalities on the line. It was a 'charged environment', shall we say."
A riot nearly occurred during filming at the Los Angeles Coliseum. Hundreds of extras were recalled for a second day of shooting, but a last minute decision was made to cancel the recall. The extras were not informed of the decision and arrived expecting a day of work. They were refused pay by the production, and as discontent grew, they began to surge against the barrier that surrounded the set. Riot police were called in to disperse the crowd.
Final collaboration between producer Joel Silver and actor Bruce Willis. The making of this film, as well as Die Hard 2 (1990) and Hudson Hawk (1991), took a toll on their professional relationship. Coupled with Silver's ousting from Fox, this is why Silver was not involved in producing further Die Hard films.
In a New Yorker profile, Joel Silver said that the making of this film was "one of the three worst experiences of his life." Tony Scott also spoke about how miserable production was, largely because Silver and Bruce Willis took over the production, altered parts of Shane Black's script, and made him shoot scenes he hated under threat of being fired and having to forfeit his salary.

Joe Hallenbeck: She said her husband was a big pimp lookin' motherfucker with a hat. Alley Thug: Oh, you're real cool for somebody who's about to take a bullet. Joe Hallenbeck: After fucking your wife I'll take two."
"[Joe has just found out that Mike was sleeping with his wife] Mike Mathews: It just happened, Joe. It... Joe Hallenbeck: Sure, sure, I know... it just happened. Coulda happened to anybody. It was an accident, right? You tripped, slipped on the floor and accidentally stuck your dick in my wife. "Whoops! I'm so sorry, Mrs. H. I guess this just isn't my week.""
