Did You Know?
| Trivia | Greta Scacchi's breakthrough role in Heat and Dust (1983) earned her a reputation for being relaxed about on-screen nudity. She had stripped down for scenes in Presumed Innocent (1990) and White Mischief (1987), among others, until she reached the edge of her tolerance with this movie. "There I was, in the missionary position," she would later say, "with the fourth famous actor in six months on top of me--Harrison Ford, Vincent D'Onofrio, Jimmy Smits, now Tom Berenger--and I'm thinking, 'I just can't do this anymore'."

| Goofs | An asthma inhaler is not an aqualung. Klein could not have kept breathing underwater because he had his inhaler with him. It relies on mixing the steroids with the surrounding air; it doesn't itself provide oxygen. See more » |
