TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Sally's "Brick wall, waterfall" routine was something Jenna Boyd was doing on the set between takes. The filmmakers liked it and worked it into the script - twice.

Co-writers Fred Wolf and David Spade originally wrote a skit in the 1990s for Saturday Night Live (1975) about a child star rampage, spoofing The Silence of the Lambs (1991), for when Macaulay Culkin was hosting, but it was cut. The idea was later pitched for The WB, but they turned it down. It was eventually re-written and turned into this movie, originally written as a dark comedy with more references to drug use by child stars.

The crew built an actual treehouse in the backyard of the house used for the exterior scenes of the Finney's home. The real homeowners liked it so much, they requested that the producers leave it up after filming.

The rabbit incident is based on an often repeated twentieth century urban legend.

Wham-O, Inc. sued Paramount Pictures for featuring Wham-O's Slip 'N Slide toy without the company's permission.
