Trivia: One of the parents at the school board meeting is Lin Shaye. While she had been in many movies at that point with mostly smaller parts, she would go on to be well known in two movies directed by the Farrelly brothers in the mid-1990s, Dumb and Dumber and Kingpin.

Audio problem: Around half an hour into the film, some kids are listening to a tape of the radio show and a teacher takes the tape out because he doesn't like the content. As he takes the tape out, the audio ends right after the tape door opens, when it should have ended a little sooner, if it was actually coming from the tape player. (00:32:35)
