Trivia
Elmore Leonard, screenwriter and writer of the novel upon which this film is based, apparently disowned it after Universal Pictures ordered extensive re-shoots. Leonard was very critical of star/director Burt Reynolds for what Leonard perceived as Reynolds' not fighting Universal hard enough to prevent the studio from doing it.

Goofs
In the opening credits, the train seen is on the Florida East Coast Railroad, headed southbound into Miami; a few seconds later, he jumps from a different boxcar, from a northbound Seaboard Coast Line train just north of the Intracoastal Waterway drawbridge in Fort Lauderdale, 30 miles away.

Quotes
Barry Braham: Be it ever so humble, there's no place like a three-and-a-half million dollar home!

Alternate versions
The UK video version was cut by 13 secs by the BBFC to remove footage of a cockfight during the opening credits.

Burt Reynolds comes back to the top as Stick!

Burt Reynolds has in Stick the opportunity to come back in interpreting the kind of character that consecrated him:the cynic,charmous and irresponsible anti-hero.Once the movie was based on an Elmore Leonard's book,whose works are known due it's unics,rotters and ambiguous characters,he has the possibility to exaggerate on the creation of the movie's protagonists.The simpleton plot offers a simple and passing diversion.Burt Reynolds is Ernest Stickley, an ex-com who just have been set free and who gets involved in a hard situation after going with his friend to accomplish a drug transaction in a desert place.His friend is murdered,but he escapes and now he wants revenge.He ends up becoming an employee and protected of a millionaire,and,while weaving his revenge,he gets emotionally involved with his boss'secretary,Kyle(Candice Bergen).If this film has a trump card,it is adapting faithfully the Elmore Leonard's book.The film counts with a terrific final climax,stuffed with shooting and a beautiful final scene,underlined by a beautiful music called Ï don't think I'm ready for you"...
