Trivia / Son in Law

• Actor-Inspired Element: Becca getting the butterfly tattoo was written in because Carla Gugino already had one beforehand.
• California Doubling: While Becca's family lives in South Dakota, the scenes were filmed in Wasco, California, a small town near Bakersfield.
• Creator Backlash: Adam Goldberg did not have a good time filming his small role on this film; He only did it to pay for his rent that month, and he refused to come back and film another take, which led to them overdubbing his lines with another actor. It didn't help that he'd be ripped on in later years for his character dressing like a Native American stereotype in the party scene.
• Dyeing for Your Art: Carla Gugino, who's a brunette, wore a blonde wig for her role as Becca.
• What Could Have Been: Ashley Judd auditioned for the role of Rebecca.
