• Bruce Willis' character's name "Jack Mosely" is derived from Robert De Niro's character in Midnight Run (1988), where he was in a similar situation playing a bounty hunter who had to bring his subject across the country whilst being chased by the mob and the FBI. The character was called "Jack Walsh" and for most of the movie was using a stolen FBI badge and going under the name "Alonso Mosely".

• The empty bottle Jack pulls from his desk drawer near the beginning is a bottle of Gosling's Black Seal Rum, from Bermuda.
