Trivia
The woman singing at the club in the beginning of the movie is singer Poe, who also provided the song "Our Lips are Sealed" for the soundtrack, which she is performing in the scene.
Quotes
Jones:
I'm a girl with a problem. It's not like I don't know better. But I seem to have gotten myself involved a very tempting situation.
Goofs
When Beau and Derrick are fighting outside of Naomi's apartment building, they collide with a door beside some greenhouses and plant supplies, and the door cracks against their weight. During the commentary, the actors and director themselves reveal this was a mistake.
Alternate Versions
Deleted Scenes on the DVD:
- Travis films Jones talking about the last time she heard the rumor they started and how it has changed.
- Travis paints over a picture of Beau on his collage while explaining what roles Travis, Derrick and Jones play in the twisted game they have created.
- Derrick runs into Detective Curtis and tells him more lies before the detective asks Derrick about a picture of Naomi which was stolen from her room.
- Derrick calls his parents and tries to ask them for help but they cruelly deny him. This scene was cut because the director didn't want the audience to have sympathy for Derrick. Originally director Davis Guggenheim's parents Marion and director Charles Guggenheim did the voices for Derrick's parents but unfortunately their voices can't be heard on the DVD version of this scene.
- Alternate Ending: An extended version of the ending has Jones and Travis leaving Derrick alone in his loft when he is approached by a stranger who identifies himself as the man who arrested Derrick when he was in high school and he tells him that Naomi is now pressing charges using the video-tape of Derrick admitting that he raped her.
