The LED watch that Carpenter uses to entice women throughout the movie is inspired by an actual watch sold in the back of pornographic magazines in the 1970s-80s. Offered by a company named Leisure Time Products, the watch was gold toned with a black faux-lizard skin band; unlike the watch in the film, it was analogue, and its' face was emblazoned with the phrase "TIME TO FUCK," which would illuminate red every thirty seconds. The watch retailed for the modern equivalent of ~$150.

The leather jacket that Greg Kinnear wore while playing 'Bob Crane' in the Hogan's Heroes (1965) scenes in this movie was the one that 'Bob Crane' actually wore during that TV series Hogan's Heroes (1965). Crane's son Bob Jr. (Robert David Crane) loaned the jacket to Greg Kinnear for this movie. Prior to Hogan's Heroes (1965), this jacket was worn by Frank Sinatra in Von Ryan's Express (1965).

The trailers used as dressing rooms on the set are 2001 model travel trailers. Early and mid 1960s travel trailers looked totally different.

Quotes

Bob Crane Jr. at 12: Go balls deep, pop!

Bob Crane: I'm a normal, red-blooded American man. I like to look at naked women. I love breasts, any kind. I love 'em! Boobs, bazooms, balloons, bags, bazongas. The bigger, the better. Nipples like udders, nipples like saucers, big pale rosy-brown nipples. Little bitty baby nipples. Real or fake, what's the difference? I like tits. Who's kidding who? Tits are great!

Bob Crane: Mel, I thought you were a fellow entertainer.
