Trivia
Oliver Stone wanted to make a film about the 1950s quiz show scandals. When he tossed around ideas with his friend Stanley Weiser, he hit on the notion of making a film about Wall Street instead. Weiser was reluctant because he knew very little about the financial markets. Stone encouraged Weiser to read "Crime and Punishment" and "The Great Gatsby" for an idea of the morality he wanted to put into the story, and Weiser spent the next few months immersing himself in the financial world. He and Stone spent three weeks visiting brokerage houses and interviewing investors.

Goofs
When Gordon Gekko is sitting on the couch watching the financial news and the plummet of Blue Star, his son Rudy moves in front of the television in a toy car, from right to left. When the camera pans out to show the whole room, Rudy is off to the right of the television, with a water bottle in his hand.
