- TriviaThis was Matthew Lillard's first film. When he noticed that Kathleen Turner had memorized everyone's names from the call sheets, he asked her why she did it. Her reply was, "Oh, honey, that's the first thing you do!"
- GoofsWhen Beverly goes to Chip's school for a P.T.A. meeting, Mr. Stubbins says Chip is "off to a fine start this year". However, a card in the opening scene established that the day is Friday, May 14, 1993, which would be nearing the end a school year, not the beginning.

- ConnectionsEdited into 365 Days, also Known as a Year (2019)
Very good satirical horror comedy with plenty of black humor, from the disruptor, unsubmissive and transgressor master John Waters.
It satirizes society's fascination with serial killers as well as inconsistencies in society's moral values.
Great interpretation by Kathleen Turner, in this fun comedy where even the well-known rock band L7 (here as Camel Lips) is like a fish in water and contributes to chaos...
I strongly recommend.
