* BreakthroughHit: For Creator/MichaelMann.
* CreatorsFavoriteEpisode: After ''Film/TheGodfather'', this is Creator/JamesCaan's favorite film of his own. He has stated that his monologue in the diner is the scene of which he is most proud in his career.
* EnforcedMethodActing: In the hospital scene, Creator/JamesCaan decided to stare coldly at J. Jay Saunders, who played the doctor. This really frightened Saunders, and his reaction in the scene is genuine.
* GenrePopularizer: For the subgenre of "neon noir", inspiring such successors as ''Film/GoodTime'' and ''Film/{{Drive}}''.
* ThrowItIn: In the scene in Leo's house, Creator/JamesCaan improvised mispronouncing "elected" as "elected-ed" to show that Frank was an uneducated man who tried to project an air of sophistication.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Creator/JeffBridges was Creator/MichaelMann's choice to play Frank, but was rejected due to the fact he was young, and wasn't experienced enough to play a hardened criminal. Creator/AlPacino was also offered the role. Creator/GeneHackman and Creator/RoyScheider were also considered.
* WorkingTitle: ''Violent Streets'', which was the film's CompletelyDifferentTitle for overseas releases.
