- Box Office Bomb: Budget, $18 million. Box office, $1,883,811. One of the biggest critical and commercial duds of 1988, Gene Siskel accused it of ripping off Romancing the Stone.
- Creator Killer: The film's failure put a B-list handicap on director Ken Kwapis's career right away.
- Hostility on the Set: In her memoir, Cyndi Lauper states that she and Jeff Goldblum did not get along during production.
- Star-Derailing Role: The film's failure prompted Cyndi Lauper to not take a leading role in another major movie. However, by then her musical star was fading as well.
- What Could Have Been: Dan Aykroyd was originally cast as Nick, but refused to star alongside Cyndi Lauper and dropped out.
- In the original scripts, a running gag based around Nick being short was implemented. However, as Jeff Goldblum, a rather tall actor, was cast in the role, this was written out — and replaced with jokes about him being tall!
