Joe Spinell, who played the title character in William Lustig's Maniac, was cast in the small role of the corrupt lawyer Eisenberg. During the filming of the courtroom scene, Lustig recalled that Spinell's escalating alcohol and drug abuse was becoming a problem as Spinell would often show up late for filming and often drunk or stoned or both which slowed production. One morning, Spinell did not show up at all which led Lustig to shut down filming for half the day while his producer partner, Andrew Garroni, had to go looking for Spinell on the streets from various bars to hotels where he might be. The scene where Eisenberg arrives late in the courtroom after speaking with Prago was filmed in late afternoon on that day that Spinell did not show up that morning for filming.
The scene after Frank Pesce is being beat up in the bathroom by Richard Bright and Joe Carberry, Fred Williamson picks him up and puts him out the window was done with no safety nets or wires with Williamson holding onto him really tight.
Sandy Alexander who plays the prisoner who harasses Robert Forster in the film was in fact was the leader of the New York Hell's Angels unbeknown st to director William Lustig and after the film was released, Alexander was convicted of murder.
The scene where Willie Colon is killed by Robert Forster, the actress that played Colon's girlfriend was jerked so hard backwards that the cast and crew worried for her safety after landing hard in the bathtub. This was a complete accident and she was a "trooper" according to William Lustig
Many of the chase sequences, including the climatic car chase, were inspired by the chase scenes in The French Connection (1971).
"[first lines] Nick: Hey, I don't know about you guys, but me... I've had it up to here. There are some 40-odd homicides a day on our streets. There are over two million illegal guns in this city. Man, that's enough guns to invade a whole damn country with. They shoot a cop in our city without thinking twice about it. Aw, come on. You guys ride the subway. How much more of this grief are we gonna stand for? How many more locks we gotta put on our goddamn doors? Now, we ain't got the police, the prosecutors, the courts or the prisons. I mean, it's over. The books don't balance. We are a statistic. Now, I'm tellin' ya, when you can't go to the corner store and buy a pack of cigarettes after dark... because you know the punks and scum are out there on the streets when the sun goes down, and our own government can't protect its own people, then I say this, pal: you got a moral obligation, the right of self-preservation. Now, you can run, you can hide, or you can start to live like human beings again. This is our Waterloo, baby! You want your city back? You gotta take it. Dig it? Take it!"
"Nick: How's it going? Eddie Marino: Vickie's not comming back. That's how it's going. Nick: I see. You blame yourself, huh? Is that why you're running? Eddie Marino: I'm getting out of here as fast as I can. That's it. I don't want the police or that gang to come back around here looking for retribution. Look that this. Ten years of my fucking life with this plastic shit. There's gotta be someplace I can start my life over. I don't know where, Nick... But not here where they can kick your ass anytime they feel like it. I don't know anymore. Nick: Yeah man, I know how you feel. Eddie Marino: No, you don't. My neighbors... they all saw what happened and they didn't do shit. They never called the police nor gave a statement. They all told the cops they saw and heard nothing. Fucking cowards! Nick: Forget it, Eddie. They're victims, man. They gave up fighting a long time ago. Eddie Marino: Yeah. Everybody's a victim. So what? Nick: You're still walking around in the dark, man. You wanna run? Go ahead. After you, then Burke, Ramon, and maybe me. But I'll tell you this: sooner or later, we're gonna run out of places to hide. What do we do then? Huh? Climb on some high mountain where it's nice and safe like in the suburbs? Wrong! After those punks and scum finish turning this whole neighborhood into a cesspool, what makes you think they're not gonna look up at that high mountain of ours and want that too? The word is out on the street, man. The bottom is about to fall out. They want us bad, but they're coming after you first. These are our homes. We give 'em up... and we've got nothing! Fight for it, Eddie. Fight for it!"
