- The script of the film was originally written by screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan in 1975 specifically for Steve McQueen.
- Many actors and singers have been candidates for the main roles in the film, including Ryan O’Neill, Barbra Streisand and Diana Rose.
- Kevin Costner's performance in the film is based on Steve McQueen and even imitates McQueen's hairstyle.
- The ending of the film's story is set at the 68th Oscar Awards Ceremony held shortly after that time. This is to tease that the script of the film has been rejected 67 times.
- In the film’s earliest script, the male protagonist Frank deeply regrets his failure to protect President John F. Kennedy in the 1963 assassination. When the film was officially filmed, this plot was rewritten into the assassination of President Reagan in 1981, because when Kennedy was president, Kevin Costner was too young to become Kennedy’s bodyguard.

It's a real pain in the ass to save this movie I've always loved until the day after Whitney left. Whitney's song is good, Costner's charm is invincible, the plot twists and turns suspenseful, the action, music, emotion, tangle are all available, and the aftertaste is endless, good! ps Thankfully, I've always been worried that Frank will sacrifice his clint as a human body armor as he foreshadowed at the beginning, and he'll be fine.

Rachel: But I can't go out on a date because you have to be with me every minute. I mean, what if he wants to invite me up to his place afterwards? Are you gonna come too?
