Production
During the production, Brando repeatedly argued with Oz and called him "Miss Piggy". Oz later blamed himself for the tension and cited his tendency to be confrontational rather than nurturing in response to Brando's acting style.
Most of the conversations between De Niro and Brando are improvised. Norton later admitted he wasn't very fond of the script and only did the film to work with De Niro and Brando, stating that he would have loved a script that "had three characters reading from the Montreal phone book, if the other two actors were Brando and DeNiro". This film was Brando's final completed film before his death in 2004. Two years after his death, he appeared in the film Superman Returns in archive footage as Superman's father Jor-El, a role he played in the original 1978 film Superman and in the 1980 sequel Superman II.
Since the movie was shot in Montréal, some of the cast included many French Canadian actors, such as Martin Drainville, Serge Houde and Claude Despins who played a security guard at the customs house, the jazz club host/greeter and the club's bartender, respectively.

Famous quotes containing the word production:
“The repossession by women of our bodies will bring far more essential change to human society than the seizing of the means of production by workers.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“It is part of the educator’s responsibility to see equally to two things: First, that the problem grows out of the conditions of the experience being had in the present, and that it is within the range of the capacity of students; and, secondly, that it is such that it arouses in the learner an active quest for information and for production of new ideas. The new facts and new ideas thus obtained become the ground for further experiences in which new problems are presented.”
—John Dewey (1859–1952)
“[T]he asphaltum contains an exactly requisite amount of sulphides for production of rubber tires. This brown material also contains “ichthyol,” a medicinal preparation used externally, in Webster’s clarifying phrase, “as an alterant and discutient.””
—State of Utah, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
