* BeamMeUpScotty: Sonny's response to Sal's famous "Wyoming" line is often thought to be some variant of "Sal, Wyoming's not a country". Even this very page was guilty of it before. It's actually "...No Wyoming. That's not a country."

When he realized that Durning hadn't read for Detective Moretti, Pacino walked Durning back into Lumet to read for the role that he eventually played.

* DyeingForYourArt: Creator/AlPacino originally grew a mustache as a way to help him deal with the fact that he was playing a gay man. In Sidney Lumet's words, however, Pacino's mustache "looked terrible." And after the first day of filming, Pacino agreed. Watching the footage, Pacino told Lumet, "The mustache has got to go," and asked if he could shave it and redo that day's work. Lumet agreed, and the mustache was gone-as was a day's worth of footage.

* MethodActing: During production, Creator/AlPacino reportedly only slept a couple hours a night, ate sparingly, and would sometimes take cold showers; this was in order to emphasize Sonny's disheveled, exhausted and yet wired appearance.

* WagTheDirector: In the original script, Sonny and Leon were supposed to take part in a scene outside the bank in which a heart-felt goodbye was to take place along with a kiss. Creator/AlPacino refused to do this, claiming it would take away from the phone conversation between Sonny and Leon. Frank Pierson was forced to make appropriate changes. This resulted in just the telephone conversation instead.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: When it seemed like Creator/AlPacino might drop out of the film, Creator/DustinHoffman was the main choice to replace him.
* WorkingTitle: The original working title was ''Boys in the Bank''. Creator/SidneyLumet hated it because he thought it made the film appear to be a "light, fluffy comedy," and he had it changed to ''Dog Day Afternoon''. He wanted a title that suggested a hot, stuffy day near the end of the summer.
