Trivia
When the film went into production, the coach of the Los Angeles Lakers at the time, Pat Riley, was offered the role of Nick. When he turned it down, it went to 'Kurt Russell'. Russell's look for the role was influenced by Riley. See more »Goofs
Factual errors: During surveillance scene showing beach house, a c-band satellite dish is shown on the right side of house during shot showing the beach in the background. Because the dish is pointing north instead of south, it would be unable to receive signals from geosynchronous satellites over the equator. See more »Quotes
