Visible crew/equipment: When the police officer asks Steve and Rachel "where are your books?" a car approaches and the film cuts to a shot of the officer standing outside Steve's car.

Trivia: The original director's cut of the film ran nearly two hours. The studio, however, severely trimmed the movie down to to just over 80 minutes, cutting out much of the character and story development in order to make the plot move faster. The director considered removing his name from the film and going with "Alan Smithee" (the name directors used to use when they are displeased with a film) as he was devastated by all the edits, but ultimately chose not to.
