If only real life was like this surprise success with Tom Cruise flashing his teeth in what was to become his standard role as a young whippersnapper on the make while scoring with rich chicks.

The busy story (adapted by Heywood Gould from his original novel) is energetically directed by Australian newcomer Roger Donaldson, and although Cruise is officially the star, the best performance is inevitably that of Donaldson's fellow antipodean Bryan Brown (described by Cruise as looking like a guy "who dyes his hair and shaves with a Brillo").

It's all very eighties, lines like "The Donald Trump of the Cookie Business" having since acquired an unforeseen resonance.

Quiz
Actress Gina Gershon stated in a podcast Interview that during their bed scene, Tom Cruise knew she was extremely ticklish and tickled her so hard, they both fell off the bed. It was, in fact, the take used in the movie.

Blooper
When Doug falls down the stairs of the subway station he lands next to a puddle of water. In the next scene the puddle is not there anymore.

Citazioni
[Last Barman poem]
Brian: I am the last barman poet / I see America drinking the fabulous cocktails I make / Americans getting stinky on something I stir or shake / The sex on the beach / The schnapps made from peach / The velvet hammer / The Alabama slammer. / I make things with juice and froth / The pink squirrel / The three-toed sloth. / I make drinks so sweet and snazzy / The iced tea / The kamakazi / The orgasm / The death spasm / The Singapore sling / The dingaling. / America you've just been devoted to every flavor I got / But if you want to got loaded / Why don't you just order a shot? / Bar is open.

Versioni alternative
Some TV versions have some alternate takes of some scenes with no harsh language, such as the scene when Brian and Doug have their bar fight.
