- TriviaWhen Richard leaves the chancellor's office and stumbles outside, he hears the campus bells ringing. This is a symbolic reference of a line from a John Donne work regarding humanity and death: "...for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee." Later in the film, a copy of Ernest Hemingway novel "For Whom the Bell Tolls" can be seen on a bookshelf in Richard's office. He then tells Peter that he wants to see the campus bells.
- GoofsDuring his dinner speech in act V, Johnny holds and drinks a glass of red wine that changes into an empty champagne glass that changes into an half-full glass of champagne.
- Crazy creditsThere is a dedication to Betty Sue Depp, Johnny's mother, at the very end.

Featured review
Has its moments
For a film about someone dealing with terminal illness this has some amusing moments and although it drags in places, Depps performance is nicely understated. It's also very unlike most Hollywood films in dealing with such a bleak and taboo subject.
