The baggage handlers were supposed to be the Mackenzie brothers (Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas). When they fell through Aykroyd or Murphy recommended Davis and Franken from their SNL days.

The scene involving Valentine and Winthorpe when they come face to face in the back of taxi/limo was filmed outside the hall in Philadelphia where the declaration of indepenence was signed, the road was blocked off in 2004 when I visited, its a great place.

The train scene and stock market manipulation is inspired by Fritz Lang's 'Dr. Mabuse the Gambler'.
