Movie Trivia/Goofs

The cow is named "Clarice", which was the name of Jodie Foster's character in The Silence of the Lambs.
Original writer Nicholas Meyer walked off the production when Warner Brothers wouldn't let him direct his screenplay. Sarah Kernochan was drafted in to rewrite the script and was somewhat bemused to see that it was an Americanized version of Le retour de Martin Guerre (1982). Warners denied this in a rather obvious attempt not to have to buy the remake rights, but Kernochan insisted that they do before continuing as they weren't fooling anyone. Warners eventually relented, and also gave Meyer story credit.
The Regency logo got its theme song from this movie's main title.
