- After filming wrapped, each member of the film's cast received a pillow as a gift, featuring Nicholas Cage's image on the pillowcase and his autograph.
- According to Neil Patrick Harris, Nicholas Cage had to have tattoos covered with makeup for the role. When Harris asked Cage why his on-screen character didn't have as many tattoos as Cage himself, he replied that the on-screen Cage hadn’t had as many wives as the real Cage.
