Anecdotes

According to Chris Kattan, after completing the film, Will Ferrell didn't speak to Kattan again until the 23rd season of Saturday Night Live due to an on set relationship between Kattan and producer Amy Heckerling having upset Ferrell. Kattan alleged that Ferrell had said "so, I got all your messages, but I didn't call you back because I didn't want to talk to you." The production of this film caused the end of their friendship, which had started when they were both members of the Groundlings. They worked together on SNL until Ferrell left at the end of season 27, but have never collaborated on anything since then.

Jim Carrey contributed to the script, but was uncredited.
