* HostilityOnTheSet: According to Joe Eszterhas in his book ''Hollywood Animal'', producer Martin Ransohoff was against the casting of Creator/GlennClose saying she was "too ugly" for the part. Close eventually caught wind about this and demanded that she didn't want Ransohoff on set during the time she would shoot her scenes. Richard Marquand agreed with her and sent Ransohoff away. Infuriated, Ransohoff went to the studio heads trying to get Close and Marquand fired from the picture. The studio denied the action stating they were pleased with their work in the film.

** Richard Marquand considered Creator/KathleenTurner and Creator/MichaelDouglas for the lead roles. According to Joe Eszterhas in his book ''Hollywood Animal'', Marquand met both actors separately to talk about the parts but said the meeting with Turner was a "chemical mismatch" and Douglas wasn't interested in doing a mystery thriller at that point.

* WorkingTitle: Joe Eszterhas originally titled the screenplay ''Hearts of Fire''. Creator/ColumbiaPictures disliked the title and decided it had to be changed. They assigned a secretary at the studio to go through the script in an effort to come up with another title. The secretary found "jagged edge" in the description of the murder weapon: "a knife with a jagged edge". Eszterhas and director Richard Marquand would still get to use the original title when they collaborated again on 1987's ''Hearts of Fire''.
