What's left behind the scenes
- Brian De Palma initially planned for this to be the first Hollywood film to feature scenes of real, rather than simulated, sex. The studio did not support this idea.
- Initially, porn star Annette Haven was approved for the role of Holly Body. However, after Columbia Pictures executives saw the kinds of films she appeared in, they decided to replace her with Melanie Griffith.
- Bret Easton Ellis's novel *American Psycho* contains a number of reminiscences and direct references to the film *Body Double* (1984), as it is the favorite film of the book's protagonist, Patrick Bateman.
- When the film producer asks Jake Scully what films he has appeared in, he replies: 'I was in *Hart to Hart*, it wasn't bad.' Craig Wasson, who plays Jake Scully, actually appeared in the pilot episode of the television series of the same name.
- In the apartment of the future ex-girlfriend, a poster of Victor Fleming's classic film *The Wizard of Oz* (1939) featuring the Tin Man can be seen hanging on the wall.
- The chase sequences are staged as a reminiscence of Colin Higgins' comedic thriller "Foul Play" (1978).
- In one scene, Jake Scully watches a music video by the new wave band Vivabeat – "The House Is Burning (But There's No One Home)."
- The film is replete with allusions to Hitchcock's "Vertigo" (1958) – plot-related: the idea of a false witness, a double of the victim, a scene of surveillance of the main character; visual – a circular camera movement in the scene where the heroes kiss on the beach, a change in the hair color of the fake Gloria, etc.
- Bret Easton Ellis's novel "American Psycho" contains a number of allusions and direct references to the painting "A False Body" (1984), as it is the favorite film of the book's protagonist, Patrick Bateman.
- When a film producer asks Jake Scully about the films he has starred in, he replies: "I was in 'Hart to Hart,' it was pretty good." Craig Wasson, who plays Jake Scully, actually starred in the eponymous series in the pilot episode.
- In the apartment of the future ex-girlfriend, a poster of Victor Fleming's classic film "The Wizard of Oz" (1939) featuring the Tin Man can be seen hanging on the wall.
