After significantly re-writing the script, Quentin Tarantino was given an associate producer credit on this movie (his first official screen credit). This movie features several Tarantino trademark pop cultural references. For example, in reference to a Peeping Tom-like recording of a murder, a cop says "It makes A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) look like Charlotte's Web (1973)."
The producers didn't like the original screenplay by Frank Norwood, so a relatively unknown Quentin Tarantino was hired for extensive re-writes. However, Rutger Hauer, who had agreed to do the original script, hated Tarantino's version and insisted that the original was used. A deal was struck where Norwood's contribution was kept for Hauer's dialogues, while Tarantino's version was used for much of the remainder (including Natasha Richardson's lines). Because Norwood did not want to share writing credits, Tarantino received an associate producer credit.
Was originally intended for a theatrical release but instead premiered on the USA Network in December of 1992 before being released to video the following year.
The movie's title is a reference to a line where a character mentions the time an eyewitness saw Ben Jordan (Rutger Hauer) running from the house after allegedly committing the murder.
Paul Giamatti and Clancy Brown appeared on Billions (2016).
