* DubNameChange: Darian's name was changed to Adrian for the DVD release. This was due to Alan Shapiro getting sued by a woman with the same name as the character, whom he based the script on. However, it stays Darian on the VHS and Laserdisc releases. More info [[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106627/trivia here.]]
