Did you know

• The hooker that Michelle Pfeiffer shoos away who's trying to pick up Jeff Goldblum is played by her younger sister Dedee.

• Airport scenes in this film (and Coming to America (1988)) have a call over the PA system for a Mr. Frank Ozkerwitz to pick up a white courtesy telephone. This is a reference to Frank Oz, who makes an appearance in many of John Landis' films, although his real last name is Oznowicz.

• Jack Nicholson had director John Landis fly out to his home in Colorado and drive through a snowstorm just to tell him he was not interested in the role of Ed Okin.
