1* ActorSharedBackground: Throughout the movie Tom mentions that Meredith won the Miss New Mexico pageant. Creator/DemiMoore is originally from New Mexico.
2* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer: There was a massive outcry in the UK over the film, mainly because of the poster and the advertising slogan ("Sex is Power"). Several media outlets accused the film of being outright pornographic, and even called for it to be banned. In actual fact, there is '''no''' nudity of any sort in the film, and only '''one''' actual sex scene (where most of the "action" is ''just'' off screen and conveyed through ''dialogue'', no less).
3* DyeingForYourArt: Creator/DemiMoore biked 28 miles every morning pre-dawn to get in shape for this film. She'd given birth to her third child a month before she was cast.
4* MoneyDearBoy: Creator/BarryLevinson admitted in interviews he took on directing this film because he needed a hit after the failures of ''Film/{{Toys}}'' and ''Film/JimmyHollywood''.
5* TechnologyMarchesOn: The technology seen in the story would have been very cool at the time, but it's hilariously dated to modern viewers. Let's just say that nobody's using a portable CD-ROM player to read books on the bus...
6* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
7** Creator/AnnetteBening, Creator/GeenaDavis, and Creator/MichellePfeiffer were considered for the role of Meredith.
8** Creator/MilosForman was originally attached to direct but left the film due to creative differences with Creator/MichaelCrichton.
