Production Notes
Early in the film, Jerry Fletcher expounds on a number of his theories to a succession of taxi passengers. On one of the featurettes included on the DVD release of the film, director Richard Donner reveals these scenes were ad-libbed by Mel Gibson. The extras acting as passengers were not told what Gibson was going to say because Donner wanted their reactions to be as spontaneous and realistic as possible.
The film was shot on location in and around New York City. Sites included Times Square, Union Square, Greenwich Village, the Queensboro Bridge, Roosevelt Island, and the Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla, New York.
The soundtrack includes "Just Maintain" by Xzibit, "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic" by The Police, and two renditions of "Can't Take My Eyes Off You", one by Frankie Valli and the other by Lauryn Hill.
