Production

Producers Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer hired Tony Scott to direct due to his success with the 1986 blockbuster film Top Gun. The film was originally to be set and filmed in London and Paris, however, the script was re-written after Eddie Murphy expressed a reluctance to film outside the United States.
