Did you know
ā¢ Despite being third billing, Kiefer Sutherland has only 17 lines and just over three minutes of screen time.
ā¢ A scene was shot in which Illeana drives back to her house with the old pick-up and a branch from a tree falls and breaks the windshield. It took several takes to get the shot, and apparently destroyed the last remaining windshields for the pick-up available anywhere in North America at the time. The scene was not used.
ā¢ Donald Sutherland (with a full beard), Kiefer Sutherland's father, is used as a model picture in one of the sketches shown when Illeanna first explains the m.o. of the killer.
