* AwesomeDearBoy: Ben Johnson agreed without even reading the script because he was a fan of director Roger Spottiswoode.
* DarkHorseCasting: Derek [=McKinnon=] was a drag performer who had never been in a film before, and was only accompanying a friend to the auditions.

* HostilityOnTheSet:
** Roger Spottiswoode didn't get along with Derek [=McKinnon=] too well, as the latter was not used to film and the need to show up on time and have contracts.
