Movie Goof (errors in geography): During the scene with Melvin on the pay phone, a sign for the Holland Tunnel is visible when he, Carol and Simon should in fact be on their way back to New York.
Movie Goof (continuity error): The position of the dog on the rug the first time he is going to eat in Melvin's apartment. First shot, he is on the edge of the carpet, next shot, back on the carpet, and next shot, on the edge of the carpet again. You can tell by looking at the color of the rug.
Courtney Love turned down the role of Carol as she was recording the Celebrity Skin album with her band Hole. She also felt she was too young for the part at the time.
