Trivia:
Martin Scorsese was reportedly creeped out by the thick accent Robert De Niro used to play Max Cady. As a joke, De Niro would call Scorsese's house, leaving voicemails as Cady.

The high school auditorium scene was completely improvised by Robert De Niro and Juliette Lewis, and was done on the first take.

Steven Spielberg was originally set to direct, but later recommended Martin Scorsese for the job. He personally called Scorsese, letting him know that this was a commercial film that had potential to be a hit, which would exercise more power for Scorsese to make his films.

Robert De Niro's tattoos were made of vegetable dyes, which faded after a few months.
