• Movie Goof (factual errors): A shotgun 'blows out' the rear glass window of the E30 BMW, sending glass throughout the cars interior. But the E30 is a convertible and the rear window is thin plastic and not glass.
• Movie Goof (continuity error): At the ranch after Rick has the bullets removed, he hops down from the table and pulls up his pants. After a brief dialogue, he hops away quickly while pulling up his pants... again!
• When Stephen Tobolowsky's character goes to check on Ricks last places of employment, you get a brief glimpse of the name David Puttnam and Columbia pictures. A reference to Puttnam's brief and turbulent time as head of Columbia pictures in the 80's.
• The final negotiating point to convince 'Mel Gibson' to do this film was the offer of a use of a producer's house for the summer, allowing Gibson to shoot the film and give his large family an excellent summer vacation home.
