Other mistake: During the scene where Markus and Jackie are making love for the first time, as she is straddled on top of him, you can see that she that she is wearing knickers (panties).

Continuity mistake: When Eddie Murphy is lying in bed with the woman, she is lying on her side snuggled up next to him. When he lifts up the covers to reveal her feet (and check out her toes), they are pointed straight up as if she were lying on her back.

Other mistake: When Angela answers the phone at Marcus' house when Jacqueline calls, the phone makes a beep then buzz buzz sound that cordless phones made when you pushed the hang up button but you weren't actually on the phone.

Continuity mistake: When Marcus and Jackie are at Marcus's apartment on their date, watching the Chicago Bulls game on TV, when Michael Jordan makes a shot he has on black shoes, but the next time they show Jordan making a shot he has on white shoes.

Continuity mistake: At one point in the film Markus watches a NBA game between Bulls and Knicks in the 1991 NBA playoffs. In another scene while Markus is at the gym his friend is wearing a 1992 dream team shirt.

Continuity mistake: Marcus is upset with Jackie after she misses a date. When she shows up at his apartment, she has on red nail polish, but if you look closely throughout the love scene, it goes from red to none, back to red.

Continuity mistake: When Grace Jones arrives in a crate to a party, the crate is being airlifted by a helicopter. Before the crate lands on the ground, you can see that in the air, it is horizontal. As soon as it hits the ground, the crate mysteriously becomes vertical. It has also grown in size.

Trivia: When they are in the board meeting going over the perfume names, Grace Jones whacks Eddie Murphy in the face with a pad of paper. According to the commentary, this was not scripted. Grace Jones ad-libbed the bit, really hitting Eddie, and his reaction is genuine.
