Trivia[]
- This is one of two movies that Touchstone Pictures produced that carries the name Bad Company. The other film, released in 2002, stars Chris Rock and Anthony Hopkins. Ironically, Jerry Bruckheimer, who produced the 2002 film, was approached about possibly producing this one, but Damian Harris did not agree with his input.
- The film was given a limited theatrical release because the thought process at the time was that audiences would be put off at seeing a black male and a white female engage in intercourse on screen.
