Trivia: Clint Eastwood's daughter Kimber has a cameo as a White House tour guide.
Trivia: A G.I. historically refers to an enlisted member of the US Army (and Air Force during the 2nd World War). Lt. O'Neill is in the Navy, where the term doesn't apply. Additionally, she is an officer, so even if she was in the Army she STILL wouldn't be a G.I. Though to be fair, Lt. (Navy) Jane doesn't have exactly the same ring to it.
Trivia: When Jeff tries to get Red to pull over on the road, he almost misses an RV and has to swerve at the last minute. In front of where he swerves is a big rock looking thing, right frame. It is there to hide the camera filming the lower angle shot we see in this sequence.
Trivia: The Mexican restaurant Manny's El Loco, located in California, was officially the Good Burger restaurant from the movie.
Trivia: One of the many early concepts for the film after Macaulay Culkin dropped out was to have Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern returning as the "Wet Bandits," who would torment Kevin's young cousin Fuller, but this was dropped as none of the actors wanted to return for a third film.
Trivia: When Uncle Joe gives John the hammer he made, after Joe comments on the hammer's special shaft, Susan and John kind of roll their eyes at Uncle Joe. Richard Roundtree, who plays Uncle Joe, played John Shaft in the 1970s.
Trivia: Elaine Stritch plays Mavis LaBreche, the mother of Liz LaBreche (Dyan Cannon). In real life, Stritch (born 1925) was only twelve years older than Cannon (born 1937).
Trivia: The original theatrical trailer for this movie includes the scene where Gary (Owen Wilson) is grabbed from behind by the snake and pulled backwards but the CGI snake hadn't been added in yet so you just see Gary falling backwards. This trailer is available on YouTube.
Trivia: The box that holds all the captured chess pieces shows Pixar Studios' old address, or the address they had at the time of this film.
Trivia: James Coburn was only 13 years older than his on-screen son, Nick Nolte.
Trivia: June Carter Cash plays Robert Duvall's mother in the movie, even though in real life she's only two years older than him.
Trivia: Peter Fonda received his only Academy Award nomination for acting for his role as Ulysses "Ulee" Jackson in this film.
Trivia: Originally intended to be a major theatrical release. However, after production company Turner Broadcasting was merged with Time Warner, the latter decided to simply burn off the film by releasing it into theaters with little promotion. As a result, despite receiving good reviews, the movie bombed in theaters. However, it has gained a cult following in the years since its release.
Trivia: "Traveller" (1997) is by "Traveler Production. Company." Traveler and Traveller are the same terms, except the former (one "L") is the preferred spelling in the U.S. and the latter (two "L's") is preferred in the U.K. "Traveller" is set in North Carolina, so the more appropriate spelling (American English) would be "Traveler ", but the main characters in the movie are Irish-American. Is the film's title another con?
