After hearing about Robert Susa, a criminal investigator of the Los Angeles Police Department, in the Hollywood area, producer Lou Pitt became interested in the private life of the police.
Susa was deeply influenced by the former Los Angeles police officer and novelist Joseph Wembaugh. Wembaugh once combined his detective experience and life story into a series of crime novels. Like the protagonist of "Hollywood Homicide," Susa also had a part-time job in his police career.
The conflict between Susa and the internal affairs department of the police department also attracted the attention of producer Pete, and the plot was later written into the script. As the understanding of Susa and other retired agents deepened, Sheldon realized that the serious work these people were doing had a rather comical side. "Hollywood Homicide" was derived from the gonzos of these police officers, many of the most absurd in the film. The situation is coming out of their personal experience.
