Quiz
Jay Hernandez had to learn many of his Spanish lines phonetically because he does not speak fluent Spanish.

Blooper
Nicole's hair color changes from blonde to red and back to blonde. The whole movie her hair is blonde except during the hotel scene when she is outside wrapped in a blanket and tells Carlos she wants to be good for him it is red. The next shot, when they are in the car taking her back home her hair is blonde again and stays that way through the rest of the movie. The red hair was due to Kirsten Dunst starting to film Spider-Man (2002)

Citazioni
Carlos: [Nicole's father is outside their love nest] Oh, shit.
Nicole: What? What's wrong?
Carlos: Who's that?
Nicole: Who's what?
Carlos: That guy right there.
Nicole: Oh, that? That's my dad.
[chuckles, kisses Carlos]
Nicole: It's okay!
Carlos: He's, like, right there.
Nicole: He doesn't care. I can do anything. I've got a condom. He'd be so proud.
[Carlos shakes his head]
Nicole: I'm serious. He'd be thrilled I'm sleeping with you. A person of color in his daughter's bed.
Carlos: [scoffs] You're crazy.
Nicole: You're beautiful.
[kisses him again]

Versioni alternative
The film was originally planned as a R rated feature, but then Disney executives decided to cut the film for a more commercial PG-13 rating. To do this 35 obscenities were deleted, a sex scene was bowdlerized and a character's drug use was deleted.

Much like The Karate Kid caught a lot of people off-guard by its charm, likeability, and believability -- not the action aspect so much as the romance between Ralph Macchio and Elisabeth Shue -- crazy/beauti

The reason would be the two leads, Kirsten Dunst (Interview with the Vampire, Bring It On) and Jay Hernandez (only having done a handful of TV and small movie work). What looks like the set-up of a cliché-filled storyline on the outside -- high-schoolers Dunst as the troubled daughter of a U.S. Senator, and Hernandez as the intelligent inner-city kid meet up and fall in love -- takes on a fresh twist (and "fresh" is a good thing -- especially in film today). With the dialogue seeming mostly improvisational, the romance is impressively convincing. Dunst is already familiar to film audiences -- making great strides at a very young age with Vampire -- but this could arguably be her finest turn. You do feel something for her character, as screwed up as she can be. But even "screwed up" people need love, too, and you do want her to succeed. And good performances apparently rubbed off on Hernandez as well, giving sensational insight into a conflicted character torn between duty to family and education versus his love for Dunst. The story does take a turn for the... well... crazy near the end but recovers nicely -- and without being too preachy or schmaltzy. Don't expect greatness, but don't be shocked if you like it.
