- Bowie reportedly declined the first offer for Qualen.
- Walken was reportedly cast but left before filming, and Lithgow joined late.
- Walken is preferred hypothetically as a colder villain and more plausible physical opponent; the timing of True Romance is corrected from two years earlier to the same 1993 release year.
- Dana Delany reportedly declined Jesse; Turner is preferred as the eventual choice.
