Skeet Ulrich went right to filming Scream after completion of this film.
One of two feature films that actor Christopher Walken has made with writer-director Paul Schrader. The movies are 'Touch' (1997) and 'The Comfort of Strangers' (1990).
Cast members, actor Anthony Zerbe and actor Christopher Walken, have both played Bond Villains in the official James Bond series, portraying Milton Krest in 'Licence to Kill' (1989) and Max Zorin in 'A View to a Kill' (1985) respectively. Both of these Bond movies feature the word ''kill'' in the title, the only two to do so. The pair have appeared in two films together, 'The Dead Zone' (1983) (both before their Bond villain roles) and 'Touch' (1997) (both after their Bond villain roles. The pair share once scene together in 'Touch' (1997) whilst in 'The Dead Zone' (1983) the pair share more screen time. Interestingly, in 'The Dead Zone' (1983), Walken's character's psychic abilities are derived from a ''touch''.
