- Enforced Method Acting: One scene called for Al Pacino to be surprised after opening a door. Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country was filming in a nearby studio, so Garry Marshall arranged for William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy, in full costume, to be on the other side of the door.
- What Could Have Been:
- Kathy Bates played Frankie in the original stage production and lobbied to be cast in the film.
- Jeff Bridges was considered for Johnny at one stage.
- Garry Marshall considered several pairings for the lead roles, such as his sister Penny Marshall and Jack Nicholson and Barbra Streisand and her ex-husband Elliott Gould.
- Emma Thompson auditioned for the role of Cora.
