Production Notes

Key scenes were shot on location in San Francisco in early 1973 at Candlestick Park then home of the Major League Baseball San Francisco Giants and then and now that of the National Football League's San Francisco 49ers. One memorable chase sequence was filmed on the now-demolished Embarcadero Freeway, which included Caan and Arkin's car crashing into an apartment building next to the freeway. The car landed in an elderly couple's bedroom, where they were watching television; Caan and Arkin exited the car and left the apartment, as the husband remarked, "Television is getting too violent."

Plans to distribute the film in early 1974 were shelved due to concerns about competition with Peter Hyams' similar "Busting". "Freebie and the Bean" was finally issued as a Christmas release.

A short-lived television series based on the film and sharing its title, starring Tom Mason and Hector Elizondo in the title roles, was broadcast on CBS on Saturday nights at 9:00 PM in December 1980 and January 1981.

As of 2007, the movie is out of print on VHS and has yet to be released on DVD.
