Trivia: In the scene at the newsstand following the death of Danny DeVito's character, the photo used for the papers is of Louie De Palma; the character that Danny DeVito played on the TV series, Taxi.
Trivia: When DA Burr is killed, the newspaper says he died in a commercial. The previous scene is a parody of Schlitz malt liquor commercials where a bull crashes through and the camera shakes. The clip of the bull used is from the commercial where they're dressed as Robin Hood characters.
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the film, when Johnny is first climbing the stairway to his apartment, he climbs a flight, then there is a dissolve to imply that it's a very long stairway, and he's shown climbing another flight. You can see the ground floor only one flight below after the dissolve.
Danny Vermin: You shouldn't hang me on a hook, Johnny. My father hung me on a hook once. Once.
