* TroubledProduction: In order to ensure the film crew's safety filming the Cabrini-Green exterior scenes, various local gang members had to be promised roles as extras in exchange for the crew's safety. However, a sniper round took out one of the windows on the production van on the last day. Also, there were no practical special effects for the bee scenes, including the scene where bees flew out of Creator/TonyTodd's mouth. And to top it off, Creator/VirginiaMadsen was extremely allergic to bees, so the production crew had to go out of their way to make certain ambulances were on standby at all times.

And despite getting lathered in a queen bee pheromone designed to ward off stinging, he was still stung multiple times (but turned this to his advantage with a contract clause which stated he'd be paid $1,000 per sting).
