Richard Dreyfuss and Emilio Estevez were having a movie trivia contest on the set one day. Estevez asked Dreyfuss to identify the movie that the line "This is no boating accident" was from. Dreyfuss didn't recognize the quote, despite the fact that he was the actor who said it in जॉज़ (1975). Deciding that this was too good to pass up, this incident was re-enacted for the film.
Aidan Quinn replaced Val Kilmer. Kilmer was originally cast as Richard "Stick" Montgomery but dropped out before filming began.
Bill reports that Maria's height is 5'6" to which both Bill and Chris say, "Too tall. At least for us anyway." Richard Dreyfuss is 5'4" tall, and Emilio Estevez is just over 5'6" tall.
