Playing the part of the ICSI Building, the one that was blown up, was the city's old City Hall building, whose implosion was used for the victim of the car bomb. The new City Hall received a Coca-Cola sign. Orlando residents can probably make out several other features, including an undressed news van from a local TV station. The official who said "Bravo" during the sarcastic applause at Murtaugh and Riggs? Then Orlando mayor Bill Frederick.

* TrashTheSet: The buildings imploded during the opening and the stinger were actual buildings (both in Florida) that were being demolished. The housing development destroyed in the climax was also an ill fated development north of Los Angeles whose company had gone out of business sometime before and the city was all too glad to use the film to get rid of the abandoned frames.

** The building imploded in TheStinger was in St. Petersburg, Florida.
* DyeingForYourArt: This was the only sequel Creator/JoePesci dyed his hair for.
* FakeAmerican: Ex-LAPD CorruptCop Jack Travis and Internal Affairs Chief Herman Walters are played by Briton Stuart Wilson and Canadian Alan Scarfe respectively.
* PropRecycling: In the scene where Riggs is in Lorna's apartment and he plays with her computer, the picture of the two boys seen on her mantle is the same picture used in ''Series/ScarecrowAndMrsKing''.
* ThrowItIn: When Lorna Cole says to Riggs "Close is a lingerie shop without a front window," Riggs doesn't know how to react to the comment. This was an ad-lib by Creator/ReneRusso. So not only does Riggs not get it, Creator/MelGibson doesn't either.
* UncreditedRole: Creator/CarrieFisher was an uncredited script doctor on the film.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** In earlier drafts, Lorna was completely different, had a different name and wasn't a woman, and was actually just as lethal and crazy as Riggs which made him his match. Riggs did however still had different love interest in those drafts. He was actually having an affair with Roger's oldest daughter Rianne, which explains a couple of parts in the finished film where Roger suspects that Riggs and Rianne are having an affair. Those parts are only bits left from original drafts where the two of them were a secret couple.
** Creator/WinonaRyder was the first choice for Lorna Cole, but Joel Silver felt she was too young for the role. But against Silver's wishes, Creator/RichardDonner offered her the part anyway. She turned it down, due to her being busy shooting ''Film/BramStokersDracula'', and because she had no interest in doing action movies. Creator/KirstieAlley, Creator/JoanCusack, Creator/GeenaDavis, Creator/LauraDern, Creator/JodieFoster and Creator/MichellePfeiffer were also considered for the role.
** Creator/AlecBaldwin, Creator/JamesCaan, Creator/RobertDeNiro, Creator/GeneHackman, Creator/MichaelKeaton, Creator/JackNicholson, Creator/AlPacino and Creator/JohnTravolta were considered to play Jack Travis.
** Leo Getz was originally not in the script and all of his scenes were written in afterwards. In the original script Leo had left L.A. for New York.
* WritingByTheSeatOfYourPants: Creator/RichardDonner's dissatisfaction with Jeffrey Boam's treatment led to the writer being fired and replaced altogether by Kamen, who made constant revisions between 1989 and 1991 before the producers rehired Boam to make new revisions to Kamen's material. Boam asked to work alone on the script, and made constant revisions between October 1991 and January 1992 while filming was already taking place. Boam and Kamen moved onto other projects, leading to Creator/CarrieFisher to step in as on-set script doctor and writing most of the romantic exchanges between Riggs and Lorna Cole.
