TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Rob Lowe researched his part by watching hours of footage of serial killer Ted Bundy.

James Spader and Christian Clemenson play brothers in this film. They would star together again in Boston Legal (2004), this time playing colleagues who become good friends.

David Koepp wrote the screenplay on spec at a time when he didn't even have an agent.

Matthew Broderick, Tom Cruise and Robert Downey Jr. turned down the part of Michael Boll.

In chapter seventeen of Rob Lowe's autobiography "Stories I Only Tell My Friends", he describes being at rehearsals in a church off Highland Avenue when he is asked to approve his make-up artist, Sheryl Berkoff. He recognises her because, years before, they'd been on a blind date together. He describes her as 'an artist of the face' who 'knows her shit cold'. In July of 1991, he married her. He also suggests that Bad Influence was originally submitted as a writing sample to producer Steve Tisch ("the only man with both an Oscar and a Superbowl trophy"). Lowe had originally wanted to play the role of Michael, "the average Joe", but was taken to lunch by David Koepp, and talked into taking the role of Alex. He describes Tom Brokaw leading the evening news with the Rob Lowe sex tapes, and following that item with news about Tiananmen square.

Popular Dialogues

"Pismo Boll: It's only a matter of time... get in bed with the devil... sooner or later you have to fuck!"

"Michael: What happened last night? Alex: What do you mean? Michael: The last thing I remember is we were driving around Patterson's neighborhood. And I go into the office today and find out that he got beat up. And I'm standing there in the middle of everybody with dried blood all over my hand. Did we go to Patterson's last night? Alex: Yes. We went to Patterson's. Michael: I mean, I didn't hit him, did I? Alex: You didn't just hit him. You beat the shit out of him. Michael: What the hell were you doing? Alex: Holding him down. [Michael looks frantic] Alex: Oh don't worry, I'm not gonna tell anybody. Michael: *Tell* anybody? Jesus Christ, this guy is a colleague of mine! Alex: Oh, don't worry about him! *He's* not gonna tell anyone. He knows you'd kill him if he did. Michael: Wait a second... kill him? Alex: Yeah. And if you didn't, I would. Told him that this morning... when I went to get the donuts. Michael: Get out. [Alex continues eating donuts] Michael: GET OUT!"
