While Harris (Steve Martin) and Sara (Victoria Tennant) visit the graveyard, Harris reveals to Sara the tombstone of Shakespeare. This foreshadows their encounter with the gravedigger (Rick Moranis) and resulting conversation which is a spoof of Shakespeare's play Hamlet (Act 5, Scene 1).
EASTER EGG: On the DVD, click left on the main menu. When the taillights of the car light up, hit ENTER. A short interview with the director is shown about his opinions of the movie. Also, on the Special Features menu, press left to have the traffic sign light up (says "KISS HER") and you see a similar interview with Steve Martin.
In the very first draft of the script it was revealed that the signs could interact with people because an alien disguised as a repair man tampered with it. The role of the alien was written with Jon Pertwee in mind, he couldn't accept it due to failing health. The script was quickly re-written and the alien was written out.
Movie Goof (continuity error): As Sarah tells Harris of her weekend plans with her ex-husband, her hands change position on the car door between shots.
