Trivia
  • This was Maureen O`Hara`s first feature film role since Big Jake (1971) 20 years earlier. She has done three TV movies since then (2008).
  • The first date picnic at old Comiskey Park was filmed not long after the final baseball game was played there on September 30, 1990. The new Comiskey Park (now known as U.S. Cellular Field) can be seen across the street from the old park in the establishing shot. Demolition of old Comiskey Park began in April of 1991.
  • Chris Columbus wrote the script with actress Maureen O`Hara in mind for the role of the mother. Once casting had begun, he insisted on having O`Hara play the role and began a search for her. What he didn`t know was that she had long since retired and was living on St. Croix in the US Virgin Islands. Knowing her brother Charles B. Fitzsimons was still in the movie industry, Columbus contacted him and had a script sent. O`Hara`s brother then sent the script to her and said, "This you do!" After reading the script herself, Maureen contacted her brother and said, "This I do!"
  • Maureen O`Hara refused to sign the movie contract, though she loved the script, until she met co-star John Candy. Fortunately the two of them instantly created a strong rapport and she hastily signed on the dotted line.
  • # The producers of the film did not include a trailer on location for Maureen O`Hara in their budget. John Candy was furious that the producers were showing someone of her stature such disrespect he gave her his own trailer. The producers finally caved in because they couldn`t have Candy, the star of the film, without his own trailer.
  • The part of Doyle was originally meant to be played by Roddy McDowall.
