Michael Douglas considers this his favorite performance of all the movies he has been in.
Every studio in Hollywood turned down Ebbe Roe Smith's script. Producer Arnold Kopelson was getting to the stage of considering cable television, when Michael Douglas came across the script and pronounced it one of the best he'd ever read.
At the time of its release, Michael Douglas' father Kirk considered this to be his son's best performance.
Detective Brian (Steve Park) says that he can't translate for Mr. Lee (Michael Paul Chan) because he is Japanese and Mr. Lee is Korean. In real life, Park is South Korean and Chan is Chinese.

"Gang Member #1: Whatcha doin', Mister? Bill Foster: Nothing. Gang Member #1: Yes, you are, you're trespassing on private property. Bill Foster: Trespassing? Gang Member #2: You're loitering too, man. Gang Member #1: That's right, you're loitering too. Bill Foster: I didn't see any signs. Gang Member #1: [pointing at a piece of graffiti] Whatcha call that? Bill Foster: Graffiti? Gang Member #1: No, man. That's not fucking graffiti, that's a sign. Gang Member #2: He can't read it, man. Gang Member #1: I'll read it for you. It says this is fucking private property. No fucking trespassing. This means fucking you. Bill Foster: It says all that? Gang Member #1: Yeah! Bill Foster: Well, maybe if you wrote it in fucking English, I could fucking understand it."
"Bill Foster: [disappointed with the burger he's been served] See, this is what I'm talking about. Turn around, look at that. [he points at the picture of a much nicer burger on the menu board above the counter] Bill Foster: You see what I mean? It's plump, it's juicy, it's three inches thick. Now, look at this sorry, miserable, squashed thing. Can anybody tell me what's wrong with this picture?"
