Trivia

Rene Russo's husband, Dan Gilroy, wrote the part of Al Pacino's wife Toni especially for Russo and tailored it to fit her perfectly. He even used Russo's real-life sister's name Toni as the name of the character.

Much of the game footage shown during the trailer, and the ads for the DVD release of the film is real. They are clips from various USFL games. Several teams, The Tampa Bay Bandits, Boston/new Orleans/Portland Breraks, Houston Gamblers, among others can clearly be seen. The league existed from 1982-1987.

Goofs

When Brandon is driving Toni to work, there is no front NY license plate on his car, but when he pulls away, the license plate is there.

When Brandon and Walter arrive at the airport, at one scene the clock on the wall reads 11:30 and the next shot it reads 2:30. A moment or two later, the same clock reads 2:20.

In the scene where Walter, Brandon, and Toni are speaking and Walter is telling Brandon about there being a next season along with basketball and baseball betting, Walters cigarette is on his lip backwards. The lighting end is in his mouth and the filter is about to be lit.
