After seeing Aidan Quinn in this film, director Martin Scorsese hired him to play the lead central role of Jesus in the original Paramount Pictures development of The Last Temptation of Christ (1988) (which later got canceled). Quinn has said: "Marty quite liked Reckless (1984). I mean, he said, 'I hate this kind of movie,' but he thought Jamie Foley did a real good job for a first try".
In one scene we see that Tracy has a Jackson Browne poster in her room - Daryl Hannah was dating Browne at the time.
Star Aidan Quinn has said of this film: "...there was something about the rebellion in the boy [character of Johnny Rourke] that reminded me of myself when I was younger, and made me want to do it...I didn't sleep for three weeks. I was a mess. I didn't think I was doing very good. But I always think like that. Then the other thing comes into it. You tell yourself, it's just like dealing with that bunch of tough roofers, you got to adapt. It was Jamie Foley's first picture, too. I think we did the best we could, but I can't watch myself".
