Theatrical trailer shows some deleted and alternate scenes from original cut of the movie before it was partially re-shot and re-edited; Alternate interrogation scene between McQuean and Kirkpatrick in the beginning where he asks her some questions and she says that nobody tried to kill her, another extended part of this scene where she asks him does he has problem with lawyers and he says that he's a cop and that it's "written on the badge". Alternate dialogue between them while they are driving in car at night where he says that they can't trust any cops and when she asks him why she should trust him he says because he hasn't shoot her yet and adds a line "Night's still young". Additional scene where he gives her the gun and when she says that she doesn't know how to shoot he says it's just like using a camera, just point and shoot. Additional scene where Kirkpatrick asks McQuean will she hit him but she says "Night's still young", same line he said to her in another deleted scene shown in trailer.

Michael Kamen was the film's original composer along with his friend, David Sanborn, who was going to provide the saxophone solos for the score. His score was rejected after the film we delayed with re-shoots and post production issues. The film's original posters list Kamen and Sanborn as the composers. Mark Mancina would replace Kamen and it was the second time the he would replace him on a film in the same year, the other being Assassins also produced by Joel Silver, which would also be delayed and released within months of each other.

Dan Hedaya had a bigger part which was cut.
