* GayPanic: The film's lesbian relationship is a major part of the story and its marketing, but a plot line that revealed a sexual relationship between Sam and Ray was written out of the script. In the original script, the ending shower scene was supposed to feature a kiss between the two men, which would mirror Suzie and Kelly’s relationship, but the film's [[https://www.gamesradar.com/the-total-film-interview-kevin-bacon/ financiers]] vetoed it. This gives more [[HomoeroticSubtext subtext]] to the scene where Sam publicly calls Ray a “cocksucker”, which angers him greatly.

** The original screenplay featured a gay scene between Duquette and Sam near the end of the film, in which the men kiss in the shower. It was meant to show that, like Suzie and Kelly, the two had a homosexual relationship that allowed Lombardo to prey on Duquette in order to manipulate him and ultimately con him out of the money.

* LifeImitatesArt: Creator/DeniseRichards would later appear in an iteration of ''The Real Housewives'', where she got involved in a scandal where in one episode it was claimed that she had slept with one of the housewives. She denied the accusations, but admitted to being "bi-curious". Many reports couldn't help but recall her role in this film in light of this.

** In the original draft of the screenplay, the object Kelly is holding underneath the towel, in the threesome scene, wasn't a bottle of champagne, as seen in the film, but a novelty penis.
** In the three-way scene in the original version of the screenplay, when Suzie removes her tank-top, she has a couple of tattoos and a pierced nipple.

* ParodyRetcon: The movie is generally seen as a GuiltyPleasure if nothing else, but the sheer volume of [[SoBadItsGood unintentional hilarity]] has lead some to hypothesize that it may have been a StealthParody of erotic thrillers all along. It was directed by an indie filmmaker with a history of making clever movies, and it gives a juicy (and funny) supporting role to a well-known comedian (Creator/BillMurray), so the hypothesis isn't unreasonable.
