Visible crew/equipment: When Desalvo, Ferroni, Matt and Andrew are all in the backyard waiting for their moments to strike, in the exterior shots facing the back doors, Arthur is standing facing the TV and there is a small beige rug between him and the TV which disappears in following shots.

Trivia: The voice of the Gators fan, who calls in to the sports radio show, belongs to the film's Director, Barry Sonnenfeld. The voice of that radio show's host belongs to Sonnenfeld's friend, Director/Writer (not for this film), David Koepp. Sonnenfeld's daughter has an uncredited brief cameo as the little blonde girl, in the pink shirt riding a scooter, which Puggy, Nina and Matt run past at the airport. Dave Barry, the author of the novel, upon which this film is based, has a cameo in the boardroom.

Henry Desalvo: Now there is no law that says I can't come over here and fart on your entree, but I don't. Why? Because it isn't good manners. Now I will ask you again in the nicest possible way, to please put out your cigars.
