The movie was conceived with Bob Hoskins as Ronald Christopher "Buster" Edwards, but the filmmakers decided he'd played that sort of part in The Long Good Friday (1980) and Mona Lisa (1986). Phil Collins was cast instead after director David Green saw his performance in Miami Vice (1984). David Jason was also considered for the role of Buster at one point.
The real-life Ronald Christopher "Buster" Edwards committed suicide on November 29, 1994; he was 62.
The movie attracted criticism for romanticizing criminality and glossing over the violent assault of the train driver. BBC movie critic Barry Norman called it "amoral and even deplorable". Through Collins' involvement in The Prince's Trust, King Charles III and Princess Diana were invited to attend the premiere. After Evening Standard movie critic Alexander Walker and Conservative Member of Parliament Ivor Stanbrook publicly attacked it and implored them not to attend, Collins wrote to the royal couple and recommended they cancel, which they did.
At first, Phil Collins didn't intend to record any songs for the soundtrack because he wanted to be judged purely as an actor.
Phil Collins' first leading role in a movie.
"June Edwards: [when discussing buying a house worth £3,000] You could get a mortgage like other people! Buster Edwards: Do what? June Edwards: Borrow it from a bank. Buster Edwards: Well, I *do* borrow from banks, that is my job. June Edwards: I mean with their permission Buster Edwards: I thought you needed a reference to do that,"
"[last lines] Buster Edwards: [addressing the audience. He is now a florist near Waterloo Bridge, several years after his release in 1980] You know, I've still got that dream... June Edwards: [overhearing him, with a cup of hot chocolate] Buster, don't start that again! Buster Edwards: No, dear Buster Edwards: Well, I know it's still there. [Buster and June walk off chatting about seeing their daughter Nikki who is now adult, and Buster looks at the camera, and his face is framed onto an envelope, when the credits start]"
