Goofs:

When Brantley drives Vera home, she offers him a whisky. He takes a drink, tosses the contents out over his right shoulder, but the glass is half full again.

When Brantley is caught in the robbery cross fire while he is in the phone booth, the glass changes from broken to not broken.

While Brantley is watching out of the window in his uncle's company, we see that someone is walking through the hallway towards him. In the next sequence from another angle, we expect the person to pass Brantley, but there's no one there and nowhere for them to go even if they were.

Trivia:

Michael J Fox was, at the time this movie was filmed, a heavy cigarette smoker. Evidence of this is noticeable when his character Brantley (a non-smoker) puts his feet up on the desk and reveals dozens of burn marks from extinguishing cigarettes with his shoe.

During the pool seduction scene, the theme from Jaws, written by John Williams, is heard as Vera circles Brantley and then pulls him under, removing his swimming trunks.

A sequel was proposed for this film but never made.
