* OneForTheMoneyOneForTheArt: Creator/ClintEastwood agreed to make ''Film/{{The Rookie|1990}}'' (which later came out the same year; not to be confused with either of the sports movies of that title) if Warner Brothers financed this film. Ironically, neither this film nor ''The Rookie'' were hits.

* PropRecycling: The small steamboat in the whitewater scene is the same boat from ''Film/TheAfricanQueen''. The boat used for the scenes in the rapids was electrically powered, but was made to appear to be steam-powered by fitting it with engines and motors developed by special effects expert John Evans.
