First adult character film role for Nicole Kidman whose previous film credits had been in family or teen movies such as Bush Christmas (1983), BMX Bandits (1983) and Wills & Burke (1985). All these three films had had an Australian classification rating of "PG" or "G". As such, this movie was the first time that Kidman appeared in a movie with a higher classification rating which was an "M" (recommended for ages 15+).
Nicole Kidman's first nude scenes.
The wind-surfing 360° loop jump performed in this movie was not actually done during production filming. It was created out of editing footage which included a shot of a wind-surfing spiral arc jump less than 360 degrees.
One of the deleted scenes taken out of the movie's script had the Jade character (who was played by Nicole Kidman) wind-surf topless past a cruise ship to the surprise of some passengers.
