FILM 1278: JERRY MAGUIRE

TRIVIA: Two lines from the film, "Show me the money" and "You had me at hello", are in the AFI's top 100 movie quotes (at numbers 25 and 52, respectively).

Jonathan Lipnicki showed up on the set one day telling everyone that, "the human head weighs eight pounds". Cameron Crowe liked it so much he wrote it into the script.

The title role was written for Tom Hanks.

This was Tom Cruise's fifth consecutive $100-million-plus film, a new record.

The parts of Dorothy and Jerry were originally written for Winona Ryder and Tom Hanks. Hanks was unable to commit to the project due to his work on That Thing You Do! (1996). Ryder was able to commit, but when screen tests were done with Tom Cruise, they "looked like brother and sister" when standing together.


The baseball field at the end of the film is the same field used in Hook (1991).
