Revealing mistake: When Darian is swinging the pole at Nick near the stairs during the climax, she is so cleanly replaced by a stunt double in two zoomed out shots. The double's face looks absolutely NOTHING like Alicia Silverstone.
Continuity mistake: When Adrian and Amy are talking on the street, the sun is coming from one side of the street when Adrian is shown, and from the other side of the street when Amy is shown.
Deliberate mistake: It's meant to be a joke, but the way the famous punch scene happens is completely ludicrous. Darian appears to be flying in the air toward Nick to attack him, but there is no explanation of how she is doing this, and the way she was thrown back high in the air a few feet is something a punch can never do unless with inhuman strength. There's not any reason whatsoever that both of these things happen, except to give the viewers a laugh. A gun in this case would have made a whole lot more sense.
Revealing mistake: When Darian is swinging the pole at Nick near the end, it's very painfully obvious that it bends as if it is made of rubber or some other similar substance.
Answer: The scriptwriter based the film on events that actually happened to him and rather unwisely didn't change the name of the girl. She sued him, hence the change of the name for the TV version.
