    • Trivia
      In the novel "To Die For", on which the movie is based, Suzanne Stone states on page 307 that she would like to see "that actress that just got married to Tom Cruise in real life" play her in a movie about this. This refers to Nicole Kidman who later played Suzanne in the movie.
    • Goofs
      At Larry Maretto's burial, the Catholic priest says "in nominis patris et filius et spiritus sanctus", getting most of the endings wrong; correct is "in nomine patris et filii et spiritus sancti", which any priest would know.
    • Quotes

      Jimmy Emmett: Any time it rains, or when there's thunder and lightning, or when it snows, I have to jack off.

    • Crazy credits
      A scene plays out behind the end credits where Janice skates on the ice at the location where a significant moment in the story took place.

    Great
    This actually felt like I'm watching a classic but for some reason it's really underrated.
