This movie stars Whoopi Goldberg, who is very identifiably African-American but plays a character called Rita Rizzoli, which name is very identifiably Italian. Roger Ebert has commented that "the Italian name is much remarked upon but never explained".
This movie has been called a female version of Beverly Hills Cop (1984), a film which starred Eddie Murphy as Axel Foley. 'Efilmcritic.com' called Whoopi Goldberg's character in this film Axela Foley.
When Whoopi breaks into Kroll's home and catches him swimming nude with nothing but a gold swim cap, it is noticeable that the actor was wearing a gold-colored speedo-type swimsuit for the medium shot.
When Rizzoli goes into a shop to buy a sandwich it is nighttime, but when she arrives home with the sandwich you can see through the windows of her house that it is daytime outside.
