    • Trivia
      In one version of the scene where Martin walks into Debi's radio booth for the first time, Minnie Driver decided to let her character put all the cards on the table and just kiss John Cusack. George Armitage said, "It was just wonderful, completely out of the blue. You should have seen the smile on Johnny's face afterwards."
    • Goofs
      When Martin is in the car with Mr. Newberry, palm trees are clearly visible in the background. There are no palm trees in Detroit.
    • Quotes

      Dr. Oatman: Don't kill anybody for a few days. See what it feels like.

      Martin Q. Blank: All right, I'll give it a shot.

      Dr. Oatman: No, don't give it a shot! Don't shoot anything!

    A classic in my book
    Man, I really love this black comedy. It's very well put together, with many great performances and a dialogue that is very well-written. The action is brilliant aswell - you'll definitely see some cool stuff here. The soundtrack consists of many nice tunes from the 80's, that lift the film even higher. Well, you just can't go wrong with this one - A classic in my book.
