Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • The Red Stapler: "Madison" as a first name was virtually unheard-of when this movie came out. It's now the fourth-most popular girls' name in America.
  • Star-Making Role: For Daryl Hannah.
    • For Tom Hanks as well. He was not unknown, but this was the first sign that he could not only make the transition from television, but outright headline a movie.
  • What Could Have Been: The scene where a TV show makes Madison upset and Allen explains the TV show is fictional and didn't really happen was originally going to be part of a Brick Joke where Madison later watches a real life plane crash on the news and laughs.
