David Patrick Kelly also played a character named "Luther" in The Warriors (1979), also directed by Walter Hill.

Thanks to Lloyd Hummel

Update

In addition to David Patrick Kelly (Luther), James Remar and Sonny Landham also appear in Walter Hill's "The Warriors" (Remar plays Ajax and Landham plays a cop). "48 HRS" marks the second film that Hill, Remar, Kelly and Landham are involved in.

Thanks to Jamie Kennedy

Update

Sonny Landham, who plays the indian, Billy, also plays an indian named Billy in Predator. He is killed when he decides to face down a better-armed enemy with only a knife, just like in 48 HRS.

Thanks to John Noto

Update

An aerial shot of the street going downhill is shown twice. The first time you see it you are watching the caddy, later in the movie you see the exact same shot but you are looking at the porsche.

Thanks to A.L. Walden

Update

Eddie Murphy met music producer Narada Michael Walden when the Church Street Station scene was filmed. The scene was shot right under Walden's former office on the corner of Church and Market. Walden would later write and produce Murphy's album 'So Happy' in 1989 with the hit song 'Put Your Mouth on Me'.
