- The first 8 minutes of long shot rehearsal took a day, and the shooting took a day and a half, and it took 15 shots to complete. Five of them were developed and the third shot was selected for use in the movie. The dialogue in the scene is improvised, and there is no subtitle at the end.
- The shots of Jeff Daniels wearing a surgeon's robe playing golf in the hospital and Patrick Swayze showing off his karate skills were all shot, but were cut off in the end.
- The interior setting of Griffin Mill's office is the same as in the movie "Barton Fink".
- Chel appeared in a red dress at the awards ceremony of "only in black and white" in the film, but in reality she never wears red.
- The costume of the eulogy in the funeral scene is the same as when David Kahane was killed.
- Julia Roberts, like other actors, also played a trick for the film free of charge.
