The scene which Richie falls down the stairs when Eddie sets his Jeans on his fire with a blowtorch was mirrored in a similar scene in Small Soldiers (1998) which the character Brad (Jonathan Bouck) falls down the stairs when his Jeans are set on fire with a flamethrower used by Butch Meathook (Jim Brown).
In both 'Dough' and 'Break', Richie (in character) disparages the long running British police TV series 'The Bill'. Two years later, in 1997, Rik Mayall was to appear as a guest star in two episodes of 'The Bill'.
