    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      In the film's promotional featurette, actress Jennifer Tilly outlines how in the movie's original script, it called for her character's breasts to pop out in one scene at the race-track during all the excitement of the cheering and rooting for the racing horses. In the end, this does not occur in the finished film, Tilly having suggested that they shouldn't, but they do wobble and jiggle and bounce and significantly project outwards during the particular shot, which is also shown in the promo short.
    • Goofs
      When Trotter makes the big bet on the last race, we see the odds drop from 40-1 to 8-1. A bet that size would have increased the odds on every other entry the moment it was bet, but none of the other numbers change.
    • Quotes
      • Greenberg: She has very long legs.
      • Vicki: Thanks. They go from my ass all the way to the floor.
