Directed by: James L. Brooks
Starring: William Hurt, Albert Brooks, Holly Hunter, Robert Prosky
Aaron Altman: If anything happens to me, you tell every woman I've ever gone out with I was talking about her at the end. That way they'll have to reevaluate me.
Aaron Altman: A lot of alliterations from anxious anchors placed in powerful posts.
Jane Craig: Just what do you want from me anyway, permission to be a fake? Stop whining.
Factual error: When the Joan Cusack character bolts into the control room with the "Mercenary" cassette, you can here the director counting down to roll the tape. A 3/4" tape being inserted and threaded up in the machine normally takes about 8 to 10 seconds, yet the tape plays when the operator hits the play button.
Trivia: Stephen Mendillo is only eight years older than his on-screen son William Hurt.
