  • Awesome, Dear Boy: Composer Michel Colombier agreed to compose the music without seeing a single frame of the finished film because he was a big fan of James B. Harris's earlier film Some Call It Loving.
  • Box Office Bomb: Budget, $2,500,000. Box office, $1,884,315.
  • Doing It for the Art: Writer/Producer/Director James B. Harris and star/Producer James Woods both worked for scale on this film in order to get it made.
  • Invisible Advertising: Although the film garnered positive reviews, Atlantic, the studio behind the film, were encountering financial difficulties and could not publicize or advertise the film.
  • Working Title: Originally filmed under the book's title Blood on the Moon, Atlantic, the studio behind the picture, decided to re-title the film "Cop" because they were concerned that people would think it was a slasher movie. The new title also suited Atlantic's market campaign, which tried to sell the film as an action/thriller similar to Dirty Harry.
