Trivia
Speaking of his Joe Paris character in "Physical Evidence, a veteran of more than forty films, star Burt Reynolds said: "This seems to be the first true victim I've played in movies. He's a dedicated cop who has lost his temper, lost his job and now he is about to lose his freedom. He's a loner who drinks too much and is emotionally volatile. Joe is not a particularly sympathetic character. Rather than coming to the rescue and taking charge, this time I must turn to someone else to try to bail me out, and it's not just that she's a woman that creates the conflict. Joe and Jenny are as different as night and day".
Quotes
Jenny Hudson:
Be nice, Mr. Paris. Your ass is in my hands.
Goofs
When Theresa Russell slides down the stairs headfirst in the climax of the film, she is clearly wearing knee pads.
