TRIVIA

Trivia

Actress Martha Plimpton received an 'introducing' credit. This was despite this movie being her second cinema movie after having appeared in Rollover (1981).

Many of the the Missisippi River sequences were filmed on the Ohio River at Smithland, Kentucky, which had previously been used for the river scenes in How the West Was Won (1962).

The film's "The River Rat" title refers to the name of the boat that father Tommy Lee Jones and daughter Martha Plimpton build.

Several people who worked on the film had worked on Coal Miner's Daughter (1980). This included Tommy Lee Jones, that film's director Michael Apted (here as an executive producer), that picture's executive producer Robert Larson (here as a full producer) and that movie's screenwriter, Thomas Rickman, directing for the first time.

First lead starring role in a major motion picture of actress Martha Plimpton who played Jonsy.
