• Director John McNaughton said he removed a scene in which Matt Dillon and Kevin Bacon bathe together, as he did not want any homosexual undertones in the film.
• In an interview, Bacon stated that his contract did not include a clause regarding nudity, and since he was a producer of the film, how could the actor sue himself.
