Trivia

In the final scene where Valerie is rolling herself a joint to smoke while talking on the telephone, the close up of her hands are not Tiffani Thiessen's, for she revealed at the time that she had never smoked pot in her life and did not know how to roll a joint. The hands of a female stand-in, who had smoked pot in the past were used for the close-up scene of the joint construction.

Goofs

Valerie Malone is sitting in Brenda's old bedroom and rolling a joint next to the window. When Valerie is shown prepping it, her nails are short but when we see the close up, the nails are long.
