• At the time this movie was made, Coyote Shivers was married to Bebe Buell, which made him the step-father of co-star Liv Tyler.
• Warren, played by Brendan Sexton III, was supposed to have a sister, but like Tobey Maguire, her scenes and ultimately her character was deleted from the final cut of the film.
• The movie was written by a former employee of Tower Records store #166 (Christown Mall) in Phoenix, Arizona.
