    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      This movie was originally titled "Slammer" until Madonna wrote "Who's That Girl" and decided to use it as the theme song. The song went to #1 on the Billboard chart in August 1987.
    • Goofs
      When Loudon flips through the prenuptial agreement, the first few text pages he flips through are identical. When he gets to the sexual-position diagrams, the various icons repeat on various pages. This is Wendy's father's way of overkill because he wants to make sure she and Loudon don't have sex.
    • Quotes
      • Cabbie #1: So, you're getting married?
      • Loudon Trott: Yep. Tomorrow at noon, I'm marrying Wendy Worthington.
      • Cabbie #1: You? Nah.
      • Loudon Trott: What?
      • Cabbie #1: You marrying Wendy Worthington? I can't see it. You're not her type.
      • Loudon Trott: You know Wendy Worthington?
      • Cabbie #1: Sure. Wendy from Scarsdale. I had her in the cab once.
      • Loudon Trott: Well, just because you happened to have given her a ride, that doesn't mean that you know her type.
      • Cabbie #1: I didn't say I gave her a ride. I said I had her in the cab.
      • [Loudon slumps back in his seat looking mortified as the cab stops]
      • Cabbie #1: Here we are. That'll be $6.50.
      • Loudon Trott: I don't have any money.
      • Cabbie #1: Oh, forget it. For any friend of Wendy's.
    • Crazy credits
      An animated Nikki Finn opens up the Warner Bros logo and steps out. She then sets off a musical number ("Causing a Commotion") that covers the opening titles and recaps the events that put Nikki in prison.
    • Alternate versions
      The BBFC in 1987 cut the film both for cinema release and domestic video, with cuts totaling 1 min 43 secs, to the scene where Madonna is shopping with Griffin Dunne in the record store and can be seen putting cassettes into her own pockets and into a shoplifter's pocket to frame him, cuts were waived on the 07/03/2006 with a PG cert, although the Uncut version played on television channels in the early 90's
