What's left behind the scenes
- The character played by Laurence Fishburne recites poems by the popular rap artist Iceberg Slim. Director Bill Duke is a big fan of Slim and once even wrote a screenplay based on his autobiography titled “Pimp,” although the film was never made.
- The last film in the credits of which Fishburne is listed as Larry, not Laurence.
- The film 'Undercover' was originally conceived as a sequel to Mike Figgis' thriller 'Internal Affairs' (1990), but this idea was later abandoned and a standalone film was made instead.
- The role of the main character was initially offered to Denzel Washington, who declined, then to Wesley Snipes, and only then to Laurence Fishburne.
