- Box Office Bomb: Budget, $23 million. Box office, $20.2 million.
- Cast the Runner-Up: Christian Slater was originally cast as Meyer Lansky while Matt Dillon was cast as Charlie "Lucky" Luciano.
- Creator Backlash: Christian Slater wasn't happy with how the film turned out, expecting it to be like Bugsy.Our movie ended up in bits and pieces all over the world. They had different versions flying to Japan, Europe and every other place. There were extended versions, shortened versions; all kinds of weird versions. In my opinion, audiences never got to see a full film. Somewhere in all that mess, there was a legitimate story. It was there in the script.
- What Could Have Been: Johnny Depp turned down the role of Charlie "Lucky" Luciano.
- Working Title: Gangsters.
