In preparing for the role of Lt. Kozenczak, Michael Riley interviewed the real Joe Kozenczak at length to learn about the case and the man.
According to Brian Dennehy, John Wayne Gacy wrote him a letter in protest of the film and to proclaim his innocence. Dennehy did not respond to him.
While John Wayne Gacy (Brian Dennehy) continuously makes fun of Lieutenant Kozenczak's Polish heritage throughout the film, Gacy himself was actually of Polish descent (his paternal grandparents' original name was Gaca and sometimes spelled Gatza).
Like John Wayne Gacy, Brian Dennehy was a very burly man. However, in real life, Dennehy was much taller than the real Gacy. Gacy was only 5'8", while Dennehy stood at a solid 6'2".
The real-life John Wayne Gacy was executed in May of 1994, two years after the film was produced.
"John Wayne Gacy: Oh Mr. Policeman, don't you know a clown can get away with murder?"
"John Wayne Gacy: [as Paxton sits at his table] Wait a minute, who the hell are you? Paxton: [gestures to DeMarco and King] I'm their boss. I bring you regards, from John Miklovich... said he worked for you. John Wayne Gacy: I don't remember anybody with a name like that, do you? [Koslo shakes his head] Paxton: That's funny, he described you perfectly: loud, big belly. Waiter! What are you drinking, John? John Wayne Gacy: [snatches pad and pencil from waiter] Who the hell do you think you're talking to? Give me that thing. I want your name and shield number right here, write it down! I'm gonna put you on that lawsuit along with that dumb Polack. Paxton: [writing details] You're making a big mistake, John, we're on your side. The way I see it, that Polack's got a hell of a nerve holding onto your cars. John Wayne Gacy: It won't be for much longer. Paxton: You bet. You'll get that board too, with the handcuffs. John Wayne Gacy: [hesitates] Board, what board is that? What is that, some more crap you left when you moved out? Koslo: [shakes head nervously] I don't know what he's talking about. Paxton: [shrugs] Forget it. You wanna go to your house, party? John Wayne Gacy: [scoffs] You gonna supply the broad? Paxton: [chuckles] We don't need broads, do we, John? Craig here's pretty liberal-minded. Koslo's not gonna tell him, is he? Are you, Teddy? [stunned silence] John Wayne Gacy: Tell who? Paxton: Kozenczak's bringing him in again, something about the car you sold him belonging to a missing kid, same ID or something. [Gacy continues staring in stunned silence] Paxton: So, are we gonna get it on, or what? [Gacy continues staring]"
