Production
During the production, Brando repeatedly argued with Oz and called him "Miss Piggy". Oz later blamed himself for the tension and cited his tendency to be confrontational rather than nurturing in response to Brando's acting style.
Most of the conversations between De Niro and Brando are improvised. Norton later admitted he wasn't very fond of the script and only did the film to work with De Niro and Brando, stating that he would have loved a script that "had three characters reading from the Montreal phone book, if the other two actors were Brando and DeNiro". This film was Brando's final completed film before his death in 2004. Two years after his death, he appeared in the film Superman Returns in archive footage as Superman's father Jor-El, a role he played in the original 1978 film Superman and in the 1980 sequel Superman II.
Since the movie was shot in Montréal, some of the cast included many French Canadian actors, such as Martin Drainville, Serge Houde and Claude Despins who played a security guard at the customs house, the jazz club host/greeter and the club's bartender, respectively.
