In his 1989 autobiography "It Would Be So Nice If You Weren't Here...", Charles Grodin reveals he got into an argument with director Richard C. Sarafian concerning the safety of himself and Farrah Fawcett-Majors in the scene where they crawl across the bedroom floor while it is being machine gunned from outside. Sarafian refused to add extra precautions and Farrah, who was bare legged in the scene, ended up with numerous superficial cuts on her legs. According to Grodin, the director ended up chewing out the explosives experts and apologizing to the actors, while Farrah never once complained.
