    • For Star Trek: Deep Space Nine fans, Andrew "Garak" Robinson plays Scorpio Killer in the first movie.
    • Also, Dean Wormer is apparently the Mayor of San Francisco.
    • Jim Carrey is the victim whose death Harry investigates in The Dead Pool.

    • The most ironic of them all: Sudden Impact 's Ray Parkins becoming a judge.

  • The Red Stapler: Sales of Harry's iconic Smith & Wesson Model 29 shot through the roof after the movie's release.
    • Specifically, Smith & Wesson stopped producing the Model 29 several years before the film's production.
