    • Trivia
      In the late 90's, the movie was re-released on video with a new cover art featuring Calista Flockhart and Matthew Perry, obviously to capitalize on their success on Ally McBeal (1997) and Friends (1994) respectively. Both have minor roles in the film.
    • Goofs
      In one scene, Kirby is supposed to be completely naked, yet in the full-screen version the actress's bra is visible.
    • Crazy credits
      Director Doug Liman recalls that Jennifer Aniston was originally cast as Kirby Watts but she was later replaced by Kristy Swanson.
