- O'Donnell recounts director Joel Schumacher telling the team, "I'm out, I can't do it anymore," describing him as heartbroken by the response.
- Silverstone details restrictive costumes that required baby powder and made basic needs difficult, recalling chaotic warehouse shoots with effects filled in later.
