| Notes |
| Filming Locations: 11388 Homedale Street, Brentwood, Los Angeles, California, USA (more) Trivia: Though the film appears to be set in a suburb of Chicago, Illinois, the aerial shots over the town were filmed above Sacramento, California. The crew originally wanted to use San Jose, California, for the shot, but its police department wouldn't allow their helicopter to fly below 300 feet due to noise disturbance; the crew had hoped for a 100-ft height. However, the same 300-ft height limit was imposed in Sacramento as well. (more) Goofs: Continuity: When Buddy King is having lunch with Carolyn, his hair is mostly gray. But in the subsequent spread-eagle sex scene, there's no gray. (more) Quotes: [first lines] Jane Burnham: I need a father who's a role model, not some horny geek-boy who's gonna spray his shorts whenever I bring a girlfriend home from school. What a lame-o. Someone really should just put him out of his misery. (more) Awards: Won 5 Oscars. Another 83 wins & 68 nominations (more) Movie Connections: Spoofed in Camp Cuddly Pines Powertool Massacre (2005) (V) (more) |
