** Another scene has [=McGavin=] visiting Luisa's neighbourhood one night after they've already had their talk about more or less breaking up. A group of Chicano homeboys, including the kid [=McGavin=] spray painted earlier, accost and threaten him. The one kid even keys the hood of [=McGavin's=] car. Luisa intervenes and basically rescues him from, at the least, a NoHoldsBarredBeatDown, and maybe worse, as the pair get in his car and drive off.

* DeletedScene: There is a scene of a random man and his family at the beach being accosted and harassed by a group of Chicano gangsters for apparently no reason whatsoever. When the man tells them to piss off, he gets stabbed in the ribs. Just about the only way to view the scene is to find an old VHS copy; it's not on a single DVD print or anywhere online.

* CastTheExpert: Producer Robert H. Solo hired real gang members as guardians as well as actors. Two of them were shot during filming.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** The original script by Richard [=Di Lello=] took place in Chicago, and was more about drug dealing than gang members. Creator/DennisHopper ordered changes, so Michael Schiffer was hired, and the setting was changed to Los Angeles, and the focus of the story became more about the world of gang members.
** After working alongside Creator/MickeyRourke on ''Film/RumbleFish'', Hopper was so impressed with his abilities, that he told Rourke he wanted him as his leading man for his next two directing projects, which would have started with this movie, with Rourke in the lead role as Officer Danny [=McGavin=]. Although it was informally agreed to by Rourke, when time came for filming, Rourke was immersed in other projects, and so Hopper cast Penn instead.
