Interesting facts

Disorganized Crime is a 1989 American heist comedy film. It was written and directed by Jim Kouf and released through Touchstone Pictures. The ensemble cast includes Fred Gwynne, Lou Diamond Phillips, Rubén Blades, William Russ, Corbin Bernsen, Ed O'Neill, Daniel Roebuck and Hoyt Axton.

Production

Principal photography begin on April 22, 1988, in Missoula, Montana. During the first week of filming in Missoula, a group of Teamsters Union began picketing the set, and protest the production company's use of non-union drivers. Bitterroot Productions had hired 14 non-union drivers, most of them local residents, to move people and equipment between the sets. They first offered the jobs to Teamsters officials, but the union rejected the offer.

After filming was complete in Missoula, the cast and crew traveled to nearby Hamilton, Montana, where most of the film is set. They spent nearly a month and a half filming there because of the bank scenes, the court house scene at the Ravalli Country Court House, and other locations in town.

Filming was completed shortly in late June 1988. Hoyt Axton, who plays the sheriff, loved the Bitterroot Valley so much he purchased a ranch in the valley shortly after filming was completed. He lived there for most of the time until his death.
