Did you know

• Diane Lane herniated her neck during a kissing scene with Olivier Martinez. She's quoted in saying, "We must've done like 50 takes."

• The special edition DVD features the alternate ending where there is a different dialogue after they both kiss in the car, during the final scene. Edward then steps out of the car before walking up and entering the police station. Fox and Regency wanted this ending at first (it was a more Hollywood ending), but the director and the cast insisted that they put in the current ending that is seen on the theatrical release.

• The scene where Connie rides the train home after her first sexual encounter with Paul and silently remembering it was filmed in one continuous take. The camera simply stayed on Diane Lane as she went through a series of expressions, and then the scene was cut and edited together.
