- No Stunt Double: Kevin Costner performed most of his own stunts. He even drove without wearing his prescription glasses, much to the dismay of the film's insurance company. He did actually roll over the hood of a moving car during one of the chase sequences. According to the film's original press material, an insurance executive approached director Roger Donaldson after that stunt and said: "Don't you ever...ever...EVER...do that again!"
- Playing Against Type: Costner was cast as someone who just dripped Americana — most recently The Untouchables — which made The Reveal all the more shocking.
