"You still comb your hair like a girl"

The story was based on Farace since he was in the papers a lot before they started to shoot the movie. Supposedly the original story was about the same thing but was told about a mobster that killed a copy in the late 1970s. After the edits and script changes, we got this movie.
From what other members of the cast and crew have said, Seagal was an asshole and was paying out hush money to female crew members.
