Trivia
George C. Scott and director Paul Schrader did not get along, so much so that at one point Scott refused to come out of his trailer and threatened to quit the film. Scott only agreed to come out after forcing Schrader to promise that he would never direct again (obviously, Schrader went back on his promise). See more »Goofs
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): "George Harper", the L.A. Free Press customer ahead of Scott, gives the clerk his Post Office address but forgets to add the zip code to it. No one can mail anything without zip codes. See more »Quotes
