Trivia: At the beginning of the movie, Neal Page races a character played by
Kevin Bacon for a taxi. Later, Neal phones his wife to tell her that he has been delayed (again), in the background, you can here the fight from
She's Having a Baby (1988) (also directed by
John Hughes) between Bacon and
Elizabeth McGovern, when she screams that she doesn't like his friend's girlfriend.
(more) Goofs: Continuity: Del and Neal's departing flight is clearly an American Airlines twin-engine jet taxiing on the runway. An exterior shot of their plane in flight shows a four-engine, earlier generation 707 jet with a red and white paint job more TWA-esque in color scheme.
(more) Quotes: Neal: [
riding in back of pickup truck in freezing cold] What do you think the temperature is?
Del: One.
