Trivia for
Bullets Over Broadway (1994) More at IMDbPro »

• When David Shayne and Julian have just seen Olive for the first time and are discussing putting her in the play at Nick Valenti's apartment building, the hallway which they walk down was also used in the movie The Godfather (1972) when Lucca Brasi goes to visit the Tatalia family.
  
  
• Dianne Wiest said that she initially had trouble playing Helen Sinclair. She said she really struggled saying her character's signature line. She then decided to lower her voice when she said the line "Don't Speak" and that made all the difference. The lower she said it, the funnier it became.
  
  
• At the start of the scene where the three mobsters (Rocco/Tony Sirico, Nick Valenti/Joe Viterelli, Cheech/Chazz Palminteri) are paying their respects, an establishing shot of a number of headstones is shown. A large headstone prominently shows the name "Sorice", which is the name of both the Master Scenic Artist (Jim Sorice) and the Stand-by Scenic Artist (Cosmo Sorice). Over the years Jim Sorice has been the scenic artist in many Woody Allen movies.
  
  
• This is the second of two Woody Allen films using Irving Aaronson and his Commanders' performance of Cole Porter's "Let's Misbehave" during the closing credits. The first was 1972's "Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex * But Were Afraid to Ask."
  
  
• Benay Venuta's final film.
  
  

• SPOILER: Cheech's (Chazz Palminteri) last line, "Don't speak" was ad-libbed.
  
  
• SPOILER: Before Cheech dies he tells David to add the line "I'm pregnant" to the end of the play saying it'll make for a happy ending. This is a direct reference to the ending of Woody Allen's "Hannah and Her Sisters." (1986)
