Trivia

Chris Columbus later admitted in an interview with "The Opie and Anthony Show" that the film that was eventually made was drastically altered from the intentions of his script. He had intended it to be a drama about working-class people in the Midwest, but the film was transformed into a steamy romance.

Awesome soundtrack!

Where can you get the soundtrack?? Romeo Void, INXS ("The one thing" - probably their best song) Bob Seger - very nice. Sure it's a little lame in the plot dept. but cool motorcycle, plenty of teen angst-it ain't Schindler's List but it works when you are surfing and happen upon it on a rainy weekend. Besides, Daryl Hannah never looks bad!
