With this film, Shane Black became the first writer to sell a spec script for $1 million. According to Time magazine, he was originally offered $2.25 million by Carolco Pictures, but decided to go with Warner Brothers for the lower (but record-setting) bid of $1.75 million, so that he could work with Joel Silver, who had also produced his script for Arma letale (1987). This record stood for 67 days until Carolco purchased a screenplay by Joe Eszterhas, which became Basic Instinct (1992), for $3 million.
