* ActingForTwo: One of the extras in a non-speaking role is a sad-eyed, lanky older man with a moustache. He's seen trying to walk out the door of the Whammy Burger before being ordered back to his seat by Foster. A scene or two later, the same actor appears as one of the patrons at the Mexican restaurant where Prendergast meets Sandra for lunch (it's unlikely that this was intended to be the same person).

** The homeless man lies about having served in Vietnam with Foster pointing out that he couldn't possibly have been older than ten when the conflict ended. His actor, John Fleck, was born in 1951, making him old enough to have been in the war.

** Frank Grimes from ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' episode "Homer's Enemy" is a parody of William "D-Fens" Foster, in both his design and his character arc as a miserable "everyman" who snaps after a TraumaCongaLine and dies as a result of his own vices. Reportedly, the show's staff even wanted Douglas to voice him at first.

** Foster being a defense contractor who lost his job after the fall of the Soviet Union could ''only'' be a plot point in the specific time this film was made.
** Foster's rant in the fast food restaurant over breakfast not being served after a certain time. Shortly after the film came out, many fast food places created a 'sliding' breakfast-to-lunch transition, where you could still get breakfast foods for a while after lunch started, usually up to 30 minutes after breakfast 'ended'. Since then a number of fast food franchises have started serving breakfast all day, in particular UsefulNotes/McDonalds, which the film's restaurant is a LawyerFriendlyCameo.
