Assassins (film)/Trivia

• Dawson Casting: While throughout the film Rath is treated as an old man and Bain as a young punk, the ages of the actors don't particularly help: Stallone was 49 years old, Banderas 35 years old.
• What Could Have Been: The original casting ideas called for the Rath role going to Sean Connery, Michael Douglas and/or Arnold Schwarzenegger (at the time Connery was in his 60s, Douglas in 50s, Schwarzenegger in his 40s). Ideas for casting Bain included Tom Cruise, Woody Harrelson and Christian Slater (again, at the time Cruise and Harrelson were in their early 30s, Slater in his 20s).
