Directed by: Paul Brickman
Starring: Tom Cruise, Joe Pantoliano, Rebecca De Mornay, Richard Masur
Factual error: When asked by the Princeton interviewer what he plans to major in, Joel replies "business." Princeton does not offer an undergraduate degree in business.
Factual error: Tom Cruise smokes a few times in the movie. He has a pack of Marlboro regular which normally have a brown filter, but whenever he pulls a cigarette out of the pack it has a WHITE filter, this leads me to believe it's a Marlboro light coming out of a Marlboro regular package, to protect his film-star lungs.
Visible crew/equipment: While Lana and her friend are staying at Joel's house, after dinner, Lana goes upstairs to visit Joel in his room to see if he wants to go out for ice-cream. As Lana enters the room, the bedroom door swings open and you can see a crew member's hand catch the doorknob, just before the camera pans to the right.
Service Manager: Who's the U-Boat Commander?
Trivia: Michael J. Fox, Tom Hanks, Nicolas Cage and Timothy Hutton all auditioned for the role of Joel.
Question: Was Joel's house also Tommy's house from the original Halloween? And has it been used in anything else, like Will's uncle's house from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air?

Answer: Regarding "Risky Business" and "Halloween," they are not the same house. "Risky Business" was filmed in the Chicago area, while "Halloween" used California locations. If there's information about it being used in "Fresh Prince," I'll update this.
