While the films young cast had to undergo training sessions for the swimming and rock climbing sequences, Daniel Stern deliberately avoided any exercise, as he felt it would better enhance just how out-of-his-element his character was.
It was rumored that the movie was originally going to be a spin-off of Home Alone (1990) which Daniel Stern would had reprized the role of Marv Merchants. If so, the movie would had seen Marv out of prison years after the events of the 2nd movie and no longer with Harry Lime (Joe Pesci) and now working as a courier, but this was just a rumor, as the screenplay had no connection whatsoever to the Home Alone franchise.
However, Stern would reprise the character in a 2015 YouTube video, in which a terrified Marv records a video to Harry pleading with him to come and find him and warns him that Kevin McAllister, the main protagonist of Home Alone (Macaulay Culkin) is back and that he's coming to get him and other burglars.

Daniel Stern stated that he understands the negative reception the film gained, but admitted he had fun making it and still reflects fondly of it.
The theatrical trailer for the film uses the soundtrack from La star de Chicago (1993), which was directed by Daniel Stern.
In order to warm up for the day's shooting, Brad Sullivan would run backward around the ski complex the actors were staying in.
