In real life, Suzanne Douglas was only 11 years older than Allen Payne.
The film originally received an "NC-17" rating, but after a few seconds were edited from the sex scenes it received an "R" instead.
The abandoned railroad crossing where Lyric is alone is located east of Montrose/Studemont Blvd. in the Houston area. Sadly, the railroad crossing was demolished in early 2000. A majority of the film takes place in Houston's Third, Fourth, and Fifth Ward. These neighborhoods were named after voter precincts when the City of Houston was founded in 1856. The house was in the Third Ward, south of downtown near the University of Houston.
During the bank robbery scene, the bank parking lot is located off Allen Parkway at the entrance to Eleanor Tinsley Park. In real life, no buildings are located in this particular location.
