TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Columbia Pictures was originally set to release the film on May 10, 1991 but ultimately delayed its release and ultimately received a small, and brief, run five months later. There were rumors that Orion Pictures had previously bought the distribution rights but sold it to Columbia due to the former studio's impending bankruptcy, with no legitimate sources to back this claim. However, Orion and Columbia shared a distribution deal with the film's production company, Nelson Entertainment, so the idea that Orion considered releasing it is not outside the realm of possibility.

Though the movie is set in Beverly Hills, the majority of the movie was filmed in Mexico. Rodeo Drive was reconstructed out of Styrofoam in a lot outside of Mexico City.

This film was originally intended to be released after the surprise success of Die Hard in 1988 by Nelson Entertainment as a potential franchise and eventually be released just as the Die Hard imitation phase was reaching its peak and eventual end with films such as Die Hard 2 & 3, Under Siege, and Sudden Death released during this period.

Harley Jane Kozak was chosen for her role after being passed over for a role on Wiseguy. One of the producers worked on both productions, and really liked her. The only caveat was that she impress Ken Wahl, which she did.

The film was out of print on video for many years in the US until a Blu-ray release emerged there in 2018. Five years earlier, it was released on Blu-Ray in Germany.
