In a recent visit to USC, his alma mater, Rick Famuyiwa revealed that Paramount executives wanted the character of Mike to pinch Alicia's buttocks in the end scene for added laughs. Needless to say, Famuyiwa balked at this idea, and never shot the requested scene.
While writing his screenplay, Rick Famuyiwa worked fulltime at the Beverly Hills branch of Niketown.
The opening Steadicam shot took almost an entire day to film.
