    • Trivia
      Filmed at the now closed and historic Joliet Correctional Center in Joliet, Illinois - the same prison where the opening sequences of The Blues Brothers (1980) were shot.
    • Goofs
      Barry visits Nelson in prison after being paroled. In reality this could never happen as a parolee cannot visit an inmate.

      • Nelson Biederman IV: [Long silence] So now what do we do?
      • John Lyshitski: Hmm?
      • [pause]
      • John Lyshitski: What do you mean?
      • Nelson Biederman IV: What do I mean? I mean, what are we... what are we supposed to *do*?
      • John Lyshitski: We're doin' it, man. This is it. We're right in the thick of the action. We hang out here, go to lunch, come back, hang out some more, go to dinner... You know how someone might describe a situation that's unpleasant or confining as being, "like a prison"?
      • Nelson Biederman IV: [pause] Yeah.
      • John Lyshitski: This is what they were referring to.
