While Eastwood was making In the Line of Fire, he was given the screenplay to A Perfect World. He was also in the midst of campaigning for the Academy Awards with Unforgiven and saw A Perfect World as an opportunity to work as a director only and take a break from acting. However, when Kevin Costner was approached with the screenplay for the movie, he suggested that Eastwood would be perfect for the role of Texas Ranger Red Garnett. Eastwood agreed, realizing that his screentime would not be as significant, leaving most of the time to work behind the camera.

The film was shot in Martindale, Texas, near Lockhart.

The film grossed $31 million in box office receipts in the United States with overseas gross at $101 million, raising the final result to $132 million, making A Perfect World a financial success.

  • The song "Sea of Heartbreak" can be heard in this movie, as well as in Heartbreak Ridge, another Eastwood movie.
  • The photo on the movie poster is not a photo from the film. Never in the movie is Phillip dressed normally (in the beginning he wears underwear and after he wears a Casper the Friendly Ghost suit).
