Anecdotes
While promoting the movie on Live with Regis and Kathy Lee (1988), Danny DeVito said that Jimmy Hoffa, Jr. had visited the set one day and that when Jack Nicholson emerged from the make-up trailer made up as Hoffa himself, Jimmy, Jr. wept and said "That's my dad". At the time the movie was released, 1992, Jimmy, Jr. had not seen his father in seventeen years (Hoffa, Sr. disappeared in 1975).

Gaffes
When Jimmy and Billy torch bomb the building, they create a blast so intense, it blows out the passenger side window on Bobby's truck. Yet in the following shots, the window goes from being intact, to being shattered.

Citations
Jimmy Hoffa: If a guy's close to you, you can't slight 'im. You can't slight that guy. A real grievance can be resolved; differences can be resolved. But an imaginary hurt, a slight - that motherfucker gonna hate you 'til the day he dies.

Crédits fous
there are no opening credits and the title of the film at the beginning.

Versions alternatives
On a special laserdisc edition, Danny DeVito hosts a supplemental portion of the disc with outtakes, including a scene where Hoffa perfectly shoots a beer bottle with a rifle.

Should This Have Been Made?

While it is one of Nicholson's most challenging roles, as a viewer you find yourself more attached to director and co-star DeVito, who practically sunk every penny he owned into the making of this film. While the film did garner some Golden Globe nominations, altogether the film was a commercial and personal flop for all involved. The problem may have been that the world was not ready for this story. Nicholson is quite good as Hoffa, but one almost ignores the performance when you think of the personal attachment director DeVito had to the project. It is quite unfortunate because DeVito is interesting in a rare dramatic role. David Mamet did write a fine script and there is fine support from J.T.Walsh, Robert Prosky and Armand Assante.

In ten years, this film will be a classic!
