Wissenswertes
Richard Pryor improvised all of his lines in the courtroom scene.

Patzer
Box opens the garage door, yells about his dog being kicked. However, Stuckey kicks the patient who thinks he's a dog several seconds before Box actually opens the garage door. There is no way that Box could have seen Stucky kick the dog.

Zitate
[last lines]
Kevin: Eight hours ago I was lunatic at the state asylum. Right? Now I gotta a yacht, I met a nice lady. I'm proud to be an American.

Alternative Versionen
A slightly different intro was filmed for the TV version. In the original theatrical release, Richard Pryor is seen meeting the loan shark in a sex shop. But the TV version has the meeting in an old warehouse. In addition, the TV version tones down some of Richard Pryor's language, and has a slightly different end credits sequence showing the main characters as their names are displayed in the credits list. The theatrical version just had standard titles over a black background.

Beginning of Pryor's MS

During an interview with Johnny Carson to promote this movie, Pryor mentioned that he had a 20 lb. weight loss and couldn't gain it back. A battery of medical tests found no problem. The next day, he lost the vision in his right eye. We now know that this was the beginning of his MS.
