Did you know

• Rene Russo's assistant "Annie" is portrayed by Robert De Niro's real-life adopted daughter Drena De Niro.

• The Westin hotel used for this film's climax also served as a shooting location for the climactic scene of the film, In the Line of Fire (1993), which also starred Rene Russo.

• There was a scene that was filmed, but cut out to better explain how Mitch could take on Trey as his new partner. In the beginning the film, Mitch goes on an undercover sting with another cop. That was Mitch's partner. He was wounded during the shootout with Lazy Boy. In a scene that followed, Mitch is visiting his partner in the hospital who is in recovery and contemplating retirement.
