Creator/CrispinGlover came up with many of his character's eccentric traits, such as ripping off women's hair, sniffing it and then screaming.screaming.
** The fight scenes were also tailored to the actresses' abilities during training - Cameron Diaz and Lucy Liu had martial arts training, while Drew Barrymore didn't, so Dylan is more of a brawler.


Added DiffLines:

* MoneyDearBoy: Cameron Diaz's agent turned down the part of Natalie for her about "thirty times", but she eventually signed on when she was offered a $12 million paycheck.
* PlayingWithCharacterType: Tim Curry is set up to be the villain and, while Corwin isn't exactly a good person, he's just a RedHerring, and the true villain is [[spoiler: Eric Knox, working with Vivian Wood]].


Added DiffLines:

** Earlier drafts of the script had no love interests for the Angels, but Drew Barrymore pushed for them to have some romance, to allow for scenes of the girls talking about their boyfriends to emphasise the friendship between them.
** It was rumoured that Nia Long turned down the role of Alex in favour of doing ''Film/BigMommasHouse'', but she later stated that she was turned down because she looked "too sophisticated" next to Drew Barrymore, admitting that Lucy Liu was the right choice and that she didn't think she'd have the physicality to pull off the stunts.

It stayed at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for two weeks, and was voted number 77 on the 100 Greatest Girl Group Songs of All Time, and is more remembered than the movie these days.


Added DiffLines:
