To be more accurate in his role as Dolly's protector, Usher consulted Elijah Shaw, his longtime personal bodyguard. Elijah, who spent most of his time keeping screaming fans away from location shoots, was dragged on set for multiple sessions of "what would you do if..." His name appears in the credits as "Personal Security."
The working title for this film was Dying for Dolly.
It marks the final movie that Ron Underwood directed.
