TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Jason Alexander, who began to bald at age 16, had to wear a toupee for the movie.

Some of the interior New York hotel scenes were filmed in Los Angeles at the old Bullocks Wilshire Building, which is no longer open. Others were also filmed at the Dorchester Hotel in London.

Bree Turner's debut.

Paul Reubens & Glenn Shadix previously appeared in two films directed by Tim Burton. Pee-wee's Big Adventure (Reubens) and Beetlejuice (Shadix).

Jason Alexander was always the first choice for the role of Robert Grant but because Seinfeld (1989) was in the middle of filming it's sixth season, and because part of the movie would be filmed in London, he almost had to turn down the role. In the meanwhile, Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, Ted Danson, Chevy Chase, Rowan Atkinson and John Stamos were all considered as alternatives in case Alexander was unavailable. Fortunately director Ken Kwapis arranged for all of the exterior scenes that were shot in Los Angeles to be filmed at the same time as Seinfeld (1989) which was also filmed in Los Angeles while the London interior sequences would be filmed during Alexander's summer hiatus from the show.
