TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

John Malkovich was unhappy during production because the script was being rewritten virtually every day and he had no idea how his character was going to turn out.

Dave Chappelle improvised many of his lines.

The film is dedicated to Phil Swartz, an effects specialist who died during filming, when a rigged plane fell and crushed him. This is actually the second Jerry Bruckheimer production where there was a plane related death on set. Eleven years earlier, Art Scholl, a pilot/cameraman, died during filming of Top Gun (1986) when his camera plane failed to recover from a spin and plunged into the Pacific Ocean.

The Las Vegas scenes were filmed at the legendary Sands Hotel immediately prior to its demolition in late 1996. When the production team heard about the city's intentions to raze the historic landmark, they immediately scheduled a multiple camera setup to take advantage of the rare event, which is what you actually see in the movie.

The song "How Do I Live" was nominated for both an Oscar as Best Original Song and a Razzie as Worst Original Song. It did not win either award.

Popular Dialogues

"Cameron Poe: [to Billy] Put... the bunny... back... in the box."

"["Sweet Home Alabama" plays in background, to Poe and Baby-O] Garland Greene: Define irony. Bunch of idiots dancing on a plane to a song made famous by a band that died in a plane crash."
