c.		While trying to be farcical, the film is actually quite accurate regarding the modeling industry. Even the quick scene of the two sets of bunk beds at Dereks apartment is factual; Cindy Crawford and Jules Asner shared a similar bunkroom during the early days of their modeling careers.

During the filming, she was constantly adjusting the arrangements, removing dying blossoms, etc. The centerpiece of the kitchen table (in the scene where Nicholas tops his chocolate mousse) got switched from a large piece (as seen in the background) to the cluster of small flowers seen in the final cut - the original arrangement got in the way of the filming.

(Also, in one of the Spider novels, he fought an opponent called the Iron Man, Stan Lee also created Iron Man.)

c.		Although Bing Crosby, Harry Barris and Al Rinker, as The Rhythm Boys, are heard on the soundtrack singing "Three Little Words", three African-American men are seen on the screen, supposedly doing the vocalizing, with megaphones disguising their lip movements so that there would not be a synchronization problem.
d.		Jim Carrey was initially offered $700,000 to appear in the film. However, the offer went in the same week when Ace Ventura: Pet Detective opened at number 1 in the US box office, so by the time Carreys agents had renegotiated with the films producers, his salary had upped itself to $7 million, almost half the films budget.

In the scene, they are parked off road and Leo is trying to recall the address. He keeps going on and on that the address has to add up to 9 because "nine is my lucky number". Meanwhile, Riggs and Murtaugh look through a map book and randomly pick a street to go down. Following this scene is the one already in the film of them finding the house. The deleted scene further explains Leos remark "I told you. Nine thats my lucky number," after Murtaugh moans "This is the ninth possibility, Leo."
