Laawaris song Mere Angaane Mein is used as a instrumental piece in the film. When Amitabh is showing Praveen Babi how to wear a saree.

Cerrones disco hit Supernature is sampled as background music in the film. The drum beats of the song appear when two goons are staring at a knocked out Parveen Babi.

Whilst filming Amitabh Bachchan wanted to change a particular dialogue, which was: 'Tu aatish-e-dozakh se darata hai jinhe hain woh aag ko pee jaate hain paani kar ke'. Director Tinnu Anand was adamant for not changing it as it was written by his father, Amitabh thought the dialogue was very inconsequential and did not want to say it. This debate got to a point where Amitabh told the director to change the actor if he didn't change the dialogue. The director was firm on his decision when Amitabh saw he was very adamant, he gave up and told the director that since he was very stubborn, Amitabh would say the dialogue. But he added if the dialogue got an applause from the audience, he would give up acting. The dialogue in fact did get an applause and Amitabh did not give up acting either.

When Kallu fails to escape from the jail, after Raghuveer beats him up there is no blood on his face. But in the cell scene where he has been chained by the officers, there is blood there.

When Kallu is driving the car which he borrowed from the showroom, he moves the gear lever inconsistently to put the car into reverse - sometimes backwards, sometimes forwards.
