One of the first major productions to film in New York City after 9/11.
When Alex and Mrs. Connelly are having the clap on clap off war as Alex puts up the middle finger towards the ceiling you can see Drew Barrymore's character Nancy put her face into her pillow to keep from laughing.
Despite Nancy's claim, tickety-boo does not mean "soon", but rather " in good, satisfactory, or orderly fashion".
The character Chick, played by James Remar, claims he is a pornographer, Remar would later go on to play a famous pornographer in The Girl Next Door.
When Alex is meeting with his publisher for lunch talking about why his book is late, she orders the shark and asks for no bones. Sharks don't have bones.
