• Several scenes in this film take place during an event known as the "Grimaldi Funeral." This is a reference to Joseph Grimaldi (1778–1837), who is the most famous English clown in history. As in the film, this ceremony is held annually on the first Sunday in February at All Saints Church in London.
• There is a moment in the film where Tom Selleck jokes with Paulina Porizkova about her killing a bug by swatting it with a rolled-up Sports Illustrated magazine. In real life, Porizkova gained fame after appearing on the cover of that magazine. She first appeared on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue in 1984 and again in 1985.
• Herd Hatfield's last feature film.
• In the scene where Phil and Sam are sitting in the restaurant, the same couple with a tape recorder appears outside the window twice.
• When Phil picks up the cat and then walks through the kitchen, a boom microphone can be briefly seen to the left of him.
• When Phil and Sam are talking at the table during the first show, orange juice is seen sloshing in the glass in one shot, while it remains still in all others.
• When the lieutenant arrives at Phil's house, it is night while he is standing at the front door. But as soon as they drive off, it is already daytime outside.
• When Sam is on the phone with Phil, the editor appears in the frame. Phil calls him Hank, but the character's name in the film is Yan, not Hank. This is the actor's real name (Hank DeLuca).
