This Paramount Pictures production was originally in development at another studio, Columbia Pictures, which was the regular production house for star Richard Pryor, who not surprisingly, was originally tagged for the convict role played by Eddie Murphy. Around the time of the late 1970s and early 1980s when 48 ore (1982) was in development, Pryor actually played a prisoner twice, in Nessuno ci può fermare (1980) and Libertà poco vigilata (1981). 48 ore (1982) director Walter Hill later worked with Pryor on Chi più spende... più guadagna! (1985). Pryor and Murphy later star-teamed together in Harlem Nights (1989).
