| 1 | * CaliforniaDoubling: The 1991 film. While set in Philadelphia and New York City, it was mostly filmed in London. |
| 2 | * DawsonCasting: Then 30-year old Creator/SeanYoung as the presumably early-to-mid-20's Dorothy and Ellen (Dorothy is seen at college in the opening scenes). |
| 3 | * FocusGroupEnding: The original climax shot for the movie took place at the Carlsson Copper Factory, as it happens in Ira Levin's book, but it failed test screenings so the climax was changed to Jonathan's childhood home in Pennsylvania. |
| 4 | * MissingTrailerScene: Glimpses of the [[https://youtu.be/Gfo3YLPMfC0 original climax]] of the 1991 film are visible in the trailer. |
| 5 | * PlayingTheirOwnTwin: Creator/SeanYoung as twins Ellen and Dorothy, even though they're never onscreen together. |
| 6 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: |
| 7 | ** James Dearden originally wanted Creator/RiverPhoenix to play Jonathan, but he couldn't relate to the material and couldn't play someone so evil. Dearden then approached Creator/KieferSutherland who turned down the offer due to scheduling conflicts. |
| 8 | ** Creator/BridgetFonda was originally cast Dorothy and Ellen, but dropped out due to scheduling conflicts. Creator/DianeLane was also considered. |
