Frantic

Harrison Ford thought that "Frantic" was a misleading title for the film as the script didn't have a frantic pace. He suggested that "Moderately Disturbed" would be a more appropriate title. Roman Polanski wasn't amused.

When Walker meets with the two American officials in the US Embassy, the boom mic can be seen sneaking into view throughout the shot in the over the shoulder shot of the second man, seated at his desk. It is hidden by the man's profile and the knot of his tie, but as he moves back and forth, its silver shape is clearly visible multiple times.

The opening and closing credits scroll over the streets of Paris.

The film was cut by 5 minutes by the Film Censors of Singapore to remove drugs, a few shots of sex and intimacy, and some violence for a 'PG' certificate for cinema. The film had no VHS release, but had a DVD release. It was later re-rated with a 'NC-16' (16+) certificate in its uncut version for consumer advice: Drug References.
