Burt Lancaster was announced for a role, but illness prevented him from appearing.
The cemetery tour hearse used in the film was borrowed from the real life Hollywood tour business, Grave Line Tours!
Though released in 1991, the film was actually shot in early 1989. It was intended for a fall 1990 release, but for unknown reasons, it was pushed back to the following August.
Barbara Hershey and J.T. Walsh previously appeared in Hannah and Her Sisters (1986) and Tin Men (1987), but they didn't share scenes on both movies.
