    • Trivia
      The stalking of Laura Black and subsequent murder of seven people and the injury of four by Richard Farley (February 16, 1988) and the three-year stalking and murder of actress Rebecca Schaeffer by Robert John Bardo (July 18, 1989) prompted California to pass the first anti-stalking laws in the country.
    • Goofs
      After Laura is shot, she goes out into the hallway and leans her back against a mural on the wall, and the cameraman is reflected in the glass of the mural.

      • Laura Black: What?
      • Penny: The clothes?
      • Laura Black: [angrily] You DON'T get it, lady! The problem here is Richard Farley! Not me!
