Trivia: Ally Sheedy was mortified after learning that she had to perform a sex scene as she presumed that it would be offscreen and simply implied. Director Joel Schumacher convinced her to do it by agreeing to only shoot her and Andrew McCarthy from the neck up. Also the scene where she accidentally pushes the shower screen down was unscripted and McCarthy's laughing reaction was genuine.

Trivia: During the second heist, all of the crew are wearing Austin powers masks. Kevin Spacey who co-starred in this had a cameo appearance in the third Austin Powers film, playing himself.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: I think this is more coincidence than anything. Spacey's Austin Powers cameo is about 5 seconds, and he's playing himself as Dr. Evil, not Austin. Maybe there'd be a connection if he played Austin or was even in this Baby Driver scene, but this was just a workaround after they were denied the rights to Halloween's Michael Myers.
