Trivia / It Takes Two (1995)

• Edited for Syndication: In some network broadcasts of the film, subsequent to the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, Harry Butkis' line, "Yeah right, and I'm Princess Di" was edited out.
• No Stunt Double: During the horse chase scene between Kirstie Alley and Steve Guttenberg, it can be clearly seen that they are indeed the ones doing their own riding stunts in almost every clip of that scene.
• What Could Have Been:
  • Mara Wilson was considered for the roles of Amanda Lemmon and Alyssa Callaway after director Andy Tennant had seen her in both Mrs. Doubtfire and Miracle on 34th Street. But she was unavailable as she was doing Matilda. Christina Ricci was also considered, but she was also unavailable as she was doing Casper.
