When Lt Parmentel interviews Jesse's friend Tolmatchoff, the Lt refers to a "Johnny Godard". This is a nod to Jean-Luc Godard, director of the original Breathless (1960).

Of the love scenes in the film, 'Valerie Kaprisky' once said that they were not just acting: "It was wonderful working with Richard...He [Richard Gere] gives you everything to react to. We were not acting the love scenes. They were half real. You can't say you act only when they say 'Action!'...I think it shows in the movie. If you don't really feel like doing it, it shows." Reportedly, during casting, Gere wanted Kaprisky cast because she was someone he would like to make love too. Gere and Kaprisky are seen in full frontal nudity in the film. Publicity for this film rumored the two to have had a personal relationship around the time that this film was made and released but this has been denied. Two of the French films that Kaprisky appeared in prior to this movie have been described as being soft-core or semi-porn. Moreover, semi-nude photos of Kaprisky were sold prior to this movie's casting to a photographer allegedly without Kaprisky's consent but these pictures were seen by producer Martin Erlichman and led to her being considered, interviewed and cast in the movie. 'Valerie Kaprisky' was around nineteen years of age when this film was made and released whilst actor Richard Gere was around thirty-three.

The woman and child from the Thunderbird that Jesse steals, are played by director Jim McBride's own real life wife and child.

At the start, when Jesse is driving the stolen Porsche to L.A, he is seen taking off his jacket. the next shot is a shot from behind, which shows him with his jacket still on. In the shot after that, he is seen continuing to take off his jacket.

In the newspaper article that mentioned the death of a CHiP Officer, the text of the article has absolutely nothing to do with the headline.

Detective: "Don't F-U-C-K with the L.A.P.D." Is this interesting? Interesting? Yes No | Share this Share this: Facebook  |  Twitter  |  Permalink Hide options Jesse Lujack: I say Monica, you ever been to Mexico, honey?
