There is something wrong in a government where they who do the most have the least. There is something wrong when honesty wears a rag, and rascality a robe; when the loving, the tender, eat a crust while the infamous sit at banquets.

- $20,000 was spent on Sean Connery's hairpiece.
- Most of Gates McFadden's role as Cathy Ryan was deleted from the final print.

- The enlisted crew of the Red October consisted of several midshipmen from the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland. These extras were paid extra to shave their heads.
- Daniel Davis plays the captain of the warship USS Enterprise. In 1988 he guest-starred in [Star Trek: The Next Generation], a series set on board a spaceship also called the USS Enterprise.
