Originally, Ray Liotta wanted the role of Sheriff Freddy Heflin, while Sylvester Stallone wanted the role of Gary "Figgsy" Figgis.

The sandwich scene in Robert De Niro's office was Stallone's first day shooting.
The sandwiches, which were an afterthought for the actors' lunch, were improvised into the scene by De Niro.

Sylvester Stallone gained 40 pounds to add realism to his portrayal of the police officer. He also was only paid SAG minimum wages.
By the time that reshoots were required, he had lost the weight again.

Sylvester Stallone gained the necessary weight for the role by eating a steady diet of giant pancakes served at a local pancake house.
