First film written by J.J. Abrams.
Jim Belushi is a real life die hard Chicago Cubs fan, who's actually sung "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" on numerous occasions in Wrigley Field in honor of late Cubs announcer, Harry Caray .
The Chicago Cubs, the team playing in the World Series in the film had been in the National League playoffs after filming began on this film. They had lost to the San Francisco Giants in 5 games and they would not return to the World Series until 2016 when they finally won after 108 years.
J.J. Abrams, who was a writer for this film, makes an appearance as the first passenger on Spencer Barnes' plane towards the beginning of the film (about 16 mins).
Production title was "Filofax"; however, the word is a registered trademark of the Leeds Filofax Group, and producers could not get permission to use it as the movie's release title. This was not a problem in Europe and other countries, where the film was released as "Filofax".
"Ted Bradford Jr.: Spencer... Toast. Jimmy Dworski: Yeah... A toast! To the Cubs winning the world series!... and to big tits!"
"Jimmy Dworski: It's the Cubs in the World Series - it's a dream of mine, sir. Warden Toolman: I know, I know,I know, I know, all right. I am not gonna stand in the way of anybody's dream, Jimmy. I'll tell you what: Jimmy Dworski: What? Warden Toolman: If I sink this put, you can go. What do you think of that? Hmmm? Jimmy Dworski: I think you should keep your head down, arms straight, drop your shoulder, concentrate, focus, think of the hole, GET the ball in the hole! Warden Toolman: Smell the hot dogs now, Jimmy. The crack of the bat; the roar of the crowd; you can order your tickets now, Jim. [the ball misses the hole by a mile]"
