Trivia
The film's original title, also the title of the movie's source novel, "Cutter and Bone", refers to the two names of the film's two lead characters, Alex Cutter (John Heard) and Richard Bone (Jeff Bridges).

The film's growing amount of positive reviews prompted United Artists to give the film to their "art" division, United Artists Classics, where they changed the film's title from "Cutter and Bone" to "Cutter's Way" (thinking that the original title would be mistaken by audiences for a comedy about surgeons). It was given the prestigious closing feature slot at the Seattle Film Festival. With a new ad campaign in place, Cutter's Way re-opened in the summer of 1981 in Seattle, Los Angeles, Boston, and New York City. Word of mouth helped the film turn a profit.

Maureen Cutter, 'Mo': [to Alex] I'm like your leg. Your leg? Sending messages to your brain, and there's nothing there anymore.

Alex Cutter: I watched the war on TV just like everyone else, okay? Thought the same damn things. You know, what you thought when you saw a picture of a young woman with a baby lying face down in a ditch. Two gooks. You had three reactions Rich. Same as everybody else. First one was real easy. I hate the United States of America. Yeah.
