Before the filming of an outdoor scene by the river, a gaffer was fixing the lights and noticed something floating by in the river. It was a dead body. The police were called and when they arrived, they anchored it to the dock, out of sight of the camera. They removed it after the scene was shot.
Kevin Bacon, who has a no-nudity clause, said his full frontal nudity was accidental. He didn't think anyone would see his nether regions, mainly because he thought Matt Dillon was blocking the shot. But director John McNaughton told The Huffington Post how Bacon's manhood made an unintentional cameo: "Kevin steps out of the shower and Matt throws him a towel and he catches it and it covers him and he did it in every take but one. It was a little miscue and it didn't cover him." The film's editor, Elena Maganini, convinced McNaughton to use that take. "We called Kevin and he said, 'How do I look?' We said, 'You look good Kevin.' He goes, 'No problem.'" "I didn't think any more about it so I was shocked, really shocked, when everyone kept on about it after the movie's release," Bacon told Total Film. "It really wasn't that big a deal." In 2015, Bacon shot a funny "Free the Bacon" PSA, encouraging more male actors to do full-frontal movie scenes.
Neve Campbell never appears naked in any sex scenes (even in the Unrated version) because she was still in Party of Five (1994) at the time and her contract forbid her from showing any real nudity, though it was all right to imply nudity by showing her bare back during the pool scene.
In a 2019 interview, Denise Richards said that she hasn't exactly encouraged her three daughters, who range in age from 7 to 15, to watch this movie, because of her nudity and sex scenes. "I definitely did not give them a copy. I told them, 'I don't want you guys watching this', because one of my daughters brought it up to me and I was shocked. A couple of friends had told her about it and I just said to her, 'I would appreciate if you didn't watch it'. It's not age-appropriate and it was a movie I did, it was a script I loved, it's me being creative. I worked with amazing actors and one day if you do see it, you may not agree with my decision but that's what mom decided to do'." She added: "It's weird for them, to see their mom in something that's sexy or different. I think it would be very rude for me if it were my parents."
In an interview with Maxim magazine, Kevin Bacon noted that he has a no-nudity clause in his contract, and that he was a producer of the movie, so technically he could have sued himself.
