Liv Tyler was just sixteen years-old when they filmed this movie (in late 1993). She was tall and has a relatively-mature appearance for her age.
Despite having major billing (being billed after lead Richard Dreyfuss), both Linda Hamilton and John Lithgow have less screen time then other main actors (Liv Tyler, J.T. Walsh, Ben Faulkner).
The movie did so badly at the box office when it was released in late October 1994 (it opened in 10th place with barely over $1 million in ticket sales) that Warner Bros. pulled it out of theatres entirely after just 1 additional week.
