Jay Mohr was originally attached to play Pipe. When the producers decided to shoot on location in Manhattan, the film was cast with mostly unknowns.
While spying on Ashley in the library, the three books that Pipe pretends to read are: Of Mice and Men (Cliff Notes), For Whom the Bell Tolls, and Heavier Than Heaven (a Kurt Cobain biography). All three books feature main characters that are shot and killed at the end.
The full name of the writer/director (Christopher Baldi) is Christopher Michael Baldi. Ashley's husband is named Christopher and Julie's boyfriend is named Mike because Baldi thought it would be interesting to "name the two assholes" after himself.
The night before the fight scene was shot, actor Matt Baranyay had been out drinking and got into an actual fistfight and arrived on set with a black eye. The black eye was well hidden with extra make-up, but barely visible in some shots of the final film.
