Trivia:
Until the first day of shooting it was unclear as to whether Alec Baldwin would shave his beard, which was described by Art Linson in his book "What Just Happened?" as being akin to that of Grizzly Adams. Baldwin was furious at the idea at first, but did go on to shave by production. A similar incident is dramatized in the film adaptation of What Just Happened (2008) with Bruce Willis as the 'celeb refusing to shave'.

Goofs:
Errors in geography: As the characters are running from the bear in the "remote" woods, there are yellow hiking markers nailed into the trees.
