Jersey Girl (Una chica de Jersey)

Following the failure of Una relación peligrosa (2003), Miramax removed all images of Jennifer Lopez from all promotional spots, out of fear that people would think it was another Ben Affleck-Jennifer Lopez vehicle. The release date for Jersey Girl (Una chica de Jersey) (2004) was pushed back from autumn 2003 to early 2004 and the studio also attempted to play down the presence of Lopez's character, Gertrude, in the movie, which included a public revelation about her character's fate.

Ollie rips the buttons off his blue shirt as he gets into the costume for the Sweeney Todd skit. After the skit, the buttons are sewn back on and he isn't wearing the white T-shirt underneath.

Kevin Smith has a 2 hour and 20 minute "director's cut" version that has screened in Los Angeles and in New Jersey at his 2005 Vulgarthon all-day film events. Smith says he will release the longer version on DVD for the film's tenth anniversary in 2014. As of 2014, that never materialized. This current year, 2024, is the films' 20th anniversary, and there is still no word of the original version of Jersey Girl being released on DVD/Blue-Ray.
