Filming took place on location in New York and New Orleans, with principal photography lasting from March 1986 to June of that year. Before its release, Angel Heart faced censorship issues from the Motion Picture Association of America for one scene of sexual content. Weeks before its theatrical release, Parker was forced to remove ten seconds of footage to avoid an X rating and secure the R rating that the film's distributor Tri-Star Pictures wanted. Angel Heart received positive reviews.
