What's left behind the scenes
- For the filming of "Amsterdam Nightmare," director and screenwriter Dick Maas turned down an offer to make a sequel to "A Nightmare on Elm Street" (Wes Craven, 1984). He later admitted that he should have postponed filming his own movie, as the sequel to "A Nightmare on Elm Street" would have marked Maas's entry into the international film market.
- The boat chase scene is a reference to a similar scene in Jeffrey Rivett's thriller "Straight on Till Morning" (1971), which also takes place in Amsterdam. The boats in both films are even painted the same color.
- During the filming of the water race, a boat with Hub Stapel (who played Erik Wissner) crashed into a wall due to a stuntman's mistake, and filming had to be suspended for three weeks due to the injuries Stapel sustained. After this accident, Stapel developed chronic paresthesia of the fingers (spontaneously occurring unpleasant sensations of numbness, tingling, burning, etc.).
- A significant portion of the boat chase was filmed in Amsterdam, while some scenes – those where the boats jump onto the embankment and drive through a street cafe – were filmed in Utrecht.
- It was not possible to organize filming in the red-light district, so it had to be filmed in another part of the city.
- During the speedboat race, the characters speed past a vessel with a brass band playing on it. Bert Hanstra, a famous director known especially for the musical comedy 'Fanfare' (1958), played the role of the conductor.
- During the filming of the speedboat chase, Simon van Kollem appears several times on screen. He is shown in the company of Inge Beckman, who is the mother of director Dick Mas.
- After the speedboat chase through the canals of Amsterdam, the suspect hides in sewer pipes. Amsterdam does not have sewer pipes of a diameter large enough to walk through, so this was filmed not in real locations, but on sets.
- The American Blu-ray release of the film includes a fragment of an interview with stuntman and stunt coordinator Dick Beer, where he talks about how the stuntmen working on 'An American Werewolf in London' (John Landis, 1981) were given only three minutes to set up and film a very complex car crash scene with traffic blocked.
