Mike Robe also directed "The Burden of Proof (1992)"--also a sequel to "Presumed Innocent (1990)"--that focused on the character Sandy Stern, played by Hector Elizondo. (In "Innocent," Stern is played by Alfred Molina.) The characters of Rusty Sabich and Tommy Molto did not appear in that film, but Brian Dennehy, who had played Raymond Horgan in "Presumed Innocent (1990)," appeared in a different role.
Bill Pullman takes over the role of Rusty Sabich from Harrison Ford. Bill had spoofed Harrison's "Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977)" character of Han Solo in "Spaceballs (1987)." Alfred Molina (Sandy Stern) had worked with Harrison in "Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)."
The original Presumed Innocent (1990) was also the film debut of Joseph Mazzello, who went on to appear in Jurassic Park (1993). Richard Schiff appeared in the sequel, The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997).
