- The film is inspired by Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island which is mentioned several times in the film by both John Cusack and Robert Loggia. Cusack as the young steward and Loggia the captain of the ship. The pirates in this case are the father and son team of Jerry Stiller and Ben Stiller, who are real life father and son. The damsel in distress is Wendy Gazelle, who plays John Cusack's girlfriend in the film, who can be loosely claimed as being the treasure as well.
- First big screen appearance of Jerry Stiller and Ben Stiller together in the same movie. They play father and son.
- 'Tom Mankewicz', who is the creative consultant on the film, did an uncredited re-write on the film.
- Movie Goof (audio/visual unsynchronized): The audio for the "jeep" at the beginning of the movie, later to be discovered as driven by his girlfriend, is clearly a V-8 engine. However, the truck being driven is a Suzuki Samurai J13, which features a 1.3 liter 4-cylinder motor.
