Trivia / Copycat

• Enforced Method Acting: Sigourney Weaver really did spit in William McNamara's face during the attack scene. His angry expression is real.
• Follow the Leader: A dark female-led mystery/crime film released in the 1990s about an imprisoned serial killer who is contacted to help with a current murder investigation then reveals at the end he was communicating with the killer in secret? No, it isn't The Silence of the Lambs.
• Scully Box: Inverted. As Sigourney Weaver is almost a foot taller than Holly Hunter, the two are sitting in almost every one of their scenes to hide the height difference.
• What Could Have Been: The original script had Foley kidnapping MJ and stringing her up like Helen, forcing Helen to combat her agoraphobia to rescue her.
