- CuriosidadesBette Midler claims that Danny DeVito called her twice after the premiere of this film: once to congratulate her, and a second time, 20 minutes later, during which he and Midler both broke down in a nervous frenzy over how terrible the movie was, and how their careers were over. The film went on to become a box-office smash.
- PifiasWhen Carol and Earl arrive to video store to watch the tape, Carol inserts it into the VCR, and Police Chief Benton's antics appear on all the screens in store. But the VCR's back is facing the camera, and all the output jacks are empty, meaning the VCR isn't connected to anything but the power outlet.
- Citas
Barbara: So, when do I get out of here?
Sandy: As soon as Mr. Stone pays the ransom.
Barbara: Well what's the problem? What is the ransom?
Sandy: It... it was $500,000.
Barbara: That shouldn't be a problem.
Sandy: He complained
Barbara: He complained?
Sandy: And then we dropped our price to $50,000.
Barbara: Yeah?
Sandy: He didn't pay.
Barbara: He didn't pay? So now what?
Sandy: So now we're dropping our price again to $10,000.
Barbara: Do I understand this correctly? I'm being *marked down*? What is this? The Bargain Basement?
[Starts crying]
Barbara: I've been kidnapped by Kmart!
- Créditos adicionalesNear the end of the credits is the line "I Love Wrong Numbers", referring to a scene earlier in the movie where Sam Stone gets a wrong number on the phone and does a vulgar prank to it.

- Banda sonoraRuthless People Theme
Performed by Mick Jagger
Written by Daryl Hall, David A. Stewart (as Dave Stewart) and Mick Jagger
The tone is almost European: There are no good guys, and the protagonist is willing, even eager, for his wife to be killed by her kidnappers.
Forget nudity or explicit violence. You know you're watching a film for grown-ups when it's willing to plumb the depths of this situation for the comic gold within, not just string a few gags on it.
Highest accolades all around.
