Did you know
ā¢ The scene where Gib teaches Alison to shotgun a beer was added to the script after John Cusack told Rob Reiner it was something he knew how to do.
ā¢ Because John Cusack was only 17 and hence a minor during production, he had to seek legal emancipation from his parents in order to shoot on location.
ā¢ Actress Daphne Zuniga once said: "It's hard to admit, but I really was a lot like this character."
