* TechnologyMarchesOn / SocietyMarchesOn: Dr. Reddin mistakes Hesse's stunned reaction to her admission of freezing one of her eggs for potential future motherhood as being due to the perceived silliness of the idea, and the implication is that she was able to harvest and freeze her egg because of her expertise in the procedure. Fast-forward 20 years, and egg storage is a commercial enterprise, with thousands of women choosing to have it done in order to focus on their career and because they are now more discerning about suitable partners in child-rearing.

* CaliforniaDoubling: The campus in the film is called "Leland University". The actual location was the University of California at Berkeley, whose sports rival is Stanford University, in Palo Alto, California, which was named after Leland Stanford.



* CreatorsFavoriteEpisode: Out of all the films Creator/IvanReitman has made with Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger, he has cited this as not his best, but his favourite.
* ExecutiveVeto: An early cut of the film ended with an abortion scene that was nixed by the studio after the subject was deemed to be "too politically sensitive." Extensive reshoots were required to make the final film work.



* ThrowItIn: Reddin's GroinAttack on Hesse was actually Thompson accidentally doing the same to Schwarzenegger. Since it was perfectly in-character, it stayed in.
