- Award Snub: Sigourney Weaver won a BAFTA and was nominated for a Golden Globe for her supporting performance, yet was overlooked by the Oscars.
- Harsher in Hindsight: Sandy's awkward joke to Wendy about how he's going to stuff a plane full of explosives and fly it into a classroom plays very differently post-9/11.
- Hilarious in Hindsight:
- Mikey, the character who dies at the end, spends the second half of the movie walking around in an orange parka with the hood up.
- Tobey Maguire reads Fantastic Four comics. Not only would he star in the Spider-Man Trilogy, but Ang Lee would direct Hulk.
- Retroactive Recognition: Katie Holmes's first film credit.
