In the scene when Joe Pesci is in the grocery store, he says the line " What am I? A mirage?" He says the same line in Goodfellas (1990).

The big man who owns the red Chevrolet Corvette at the end is former NFL offensive linemen William Roberts. The part was originally written for Mike Tyson, but he was asking for too much money for such a small part.
