Betsy Russell said that filming her topless scene on horseback wasn't easy. It was out in the open in a huge pasture with several people around watching. "It was a weird feeling flashing out there in the middle of a field on horseback," she said in an interview. "It was a freezing day and I caught cold. We had to do the scene three times. The first horse almost ran away with me, and they decided to improve the second take, so we did it a third time. I got the feeling the only reason they shot it so many times was so the producers could keep watching my tits bounce around." To make matters more stressful, old acquaintances showed up on the day she was shooting her topless scene. "I hadn't seen these people in years. They turned up on the set, outdoors in the middle of nowhere. The director made them leave. It was hysterical. I learned that day not to take it all too seriously."

During the beach scene with Jim (Matthew Modine) and Chris (Phoebe Cates), gaffers tape is visible on Phoebe's left breast.

The TV version adds footage deleted from the theatrical release:

• A scene of Christine and Jim having dinner at the hotel they've come to lose their virginity at.
• Shots of Jim and Christine taking turns jogging from their car into a drugstore to buy condoms.
• The scene at the end where the girls moon Miss Dutchbok is replaced by a shot where the girls moon her wearing their underwear instead.
